  • Buy a new large ferry to serve the Bell Island-Portugal Cove and Fogo Island-Change Island-Farewell routes

    "Immediately secure a new large ferry to serve both the Bell Island–Portugal Cove and Fogo Island–Change Island–Farewell routes. With capacity for approximately 200 passengers and 70 vehicles, this vessel will provide the province with a properly sized and dependable swing vessel to maintain service during maintenance or mechanical issues, ending the Liberal practice of shuffling ferries between routes and sparking community frustration." — pcnl.ca, retrieved 2025-10-06

  • Develop a long-term strategy for replacing three aging provincial ferries, and doing more preventive maintenance

    "Develop a long-term fleet renewal strategy to replace three aging provincial ferries with modern, dependable vessels. The plan will also include stronger preventative maintenance measures to reduce breakdowns and ensure consistent service.

    Explore local shipbuilding options for the three replacement ferries, creating jobs in Newfoundland and Labrador while meeting long-term infrastructure needs."
