A fourth Freshwater-class ferry in the fleet will be removed from the Manly-Circular Quay route in September and is likely to be retired.
Three of the four large Manly ferries will be operating on the busy route by the middle of next year following upgrades while a fourth Freshwater-class vessel is likely to be retired due to maintenance challenges.
However, the future of the Collaroy, which has been carrying passengers, remains in doubt because its operational and maintenance requirements are different to the other three Freshwater-class vessels. The Collaroy is expected to be pulled from service in September, and is likely to be retired. “These vessels are beloved and reliable, and it is exciting that we are in the final stretch of getting the Queenscliff back on the F1 Manly-to-Circular Quay route,” she said.Action for Public Transport spokesman Graeme Taylor said long queues for ferries at Circular Quay and Manly wharves during the Vivid festival were a “nightmare” and showed why the large vessels needed to be retained.
