But for a new ferry to show up in the city, you need patience.

And so when a new ferry comes along, it matters.

The city hopes to put the new ferry into regular service after Labor Day.

She was originally purchased to be used in the interim while other new ferries were being built.

Just where the new ferry will dock has become a point of contention.

In 1968, the state granted sufficient guarantees to allow a new ferry to be purchased.

But there is also little doubt that demand for new high-speed ferries stands to increase.

In May 2008 they decided to buy a new longer ferry.

Take the new ferry to Ha'pai and sleep on the decks.

Wightlink later announced that a third new ferry would enter service in spring 2009.
