VOCM News in Newfoundland reports that:

The Oceanex Connaigra has finished sea trials successfully in Germany and is expected to arrive in St. John’s next weekend. It will stay for a few days before sailing to Halifax to work that service while the Oceanex Sanderling completes a short dry dock.

The vessel will then move on to Montreal, where it will provide a fixed weekly service between the ports of Montreal and St. John’s.

UPDATE: Oceanex Connaigra is tentatively scheduled to make her first stop in Halifax on October 10th.
