Rick Doucet tells CHSJ News the people of Deer Island were promised a 24-car ferry and he has learned they will continue with an 18-car vessel.
He says the intent was to provide a 24-car ferry like the Deer Island Princess so they would have two new ferries which he says would make a big difference for the Islanders.
Doucet maintains the people and the ferry were consulted and they wanted a 24-car ferry adding there isn't a lot of difference in price going from the 24 to 18 car ferry.
