Fleetwood to Knott End ferry remains in dry dock due to inspection delay
The return of Fleetwood to Knott End ferry service has been delayed.
The daily route across the River Wyre was expected to resume early next week.
The much-loved ferry, that runs from it’s terminus on Queens Terrace to the slip way at Knott End was hauled out of the water to dry dock in January for its annual maintenance.
In a post on social media, operators said: “We were hoping to get the green light to return to service at the start of the week.
“However unfortunately despite paying for our certs to be fast tracked, they have advised they are more likely to be issued end of next week.
“This is something out of our control. As soon as they are issued we will announce our return to water date.
“We will be back sailing very soon.”
The Wyre Rose was lifted out for maintenance and Maritime and Coastguard Authority surveys. New certification is needed before the vessel can return to service.
