Ferry services adjust to make way for brighter future and new vessel

Sea SA car & passenger ferries has announced that it has commenced construction of a new purpose- built, 56 metre vessel, Aurora, expected to commence service across the Spencer Gulf in mid to late 2010. 

The new ferry will carry 85 cars and 300 passengers.  Designed to latest 2009 regulations, she will deliver greater cost-effectiveness in meeting the needs of the increasing vehicle market.  New improved design features include a stabilizer system for a smoother ride and a forward visor to keep vehicle deck areas totally dry.   

Sea SA services are expected to resume from mid-2010, departing from Wallaroo and Lucky Bay, twice daily during the week, and once a day on weekends. 

“Sea SA will definitely be back bigger and better than ever!” Sea SA Managing Director Stephanie Dawson said.
