Spencer Gulf Searoad have confirmed that their car and passenger ferry “Aurora V”, has cleared the drydock in Colombia after being caught up in the Covid 19 crisis for months and is finally on her way to Wallaroo.
The vessel has travelled through the Panama Canal and will continue on to Wallaroo, South Australia.
According to Sue Cassidy, Manager of Spencer Gulf Searoad, weather permitting, the vessel should be here by the end of September.
With the completion of Lucky Bay Harbour as an export facility and domestic travel surging due to overseas travel bans, the company sees that the vessel will be very busy. This will also be a boost for local employment and tourism.
