The Pelee Islander II has experienced a two-week delay in the drydock schedule due to an unforeseen technical issue found during the out-of-water inspection.
To accommodate transportation needs in the interim, the MV Pelee Islander will run on an extended timetable from May 5 – 18, 2023. Pelee Island Transportation Services (PITS) will work with ferry customers to reschedule those booked on the Pelee Islander II.
While the Pelee Islander II remains in drydock, there will be four trips each day from the mainland of Ontario to Pelee Island provided by a modified ferry schedule using the MV Pelee Islander (smaller vessel). Sailings to the Port of Sandusky in Ohio will cease under this revised plan. The Sandusky service will resume once the MV Pelee Islander II is back in operation.
All schedule or service changes will be announced on the website, social media platforms, and direct contact with ferry clients through its booking system or terminal staff.
