Veterans Affairs Minister and Cardigan MP Lawrence MacAulay says that the MV Confederation could be running again as soon as the weekend between Wood Islands and Caribou. MacAulay put out a tweet Wednesday indicating that a replacement part for the MV Confederation will be shipped from Germany this week. The MV Confederation has been out of service since June 17th because of a mechanical issue, and Northumberland Ferries said that the part required for repairing the vessel had to be manufactured in Germany.
