Overview
The Department directly operates the Strangford Lough Ferry Service. The service involves the operation of two large passenger vessels.
Both vessels must undergo an annual inspection by Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) prior to the issue of a Passenger Ship Safety Certificate (PSSC) granting permission for the operation to continue. Part of this inspection focuses on the vessel machinery and compliance with manufacturer maintenance schedule.
The two roll-on roll-off (ro-ro) ferries in use are as follows: • MV Portaferry II (2002) which has five Cummins engines, three QSK 19 (two in service and one spare) and two Cummins 4BT generators. • MV Strangford II (2017) which has five Cummins engines, three QSK 19M (two in service and one spare) and two Cummins 6BT generators. Parts are required to undertake one large refit on each ferry per year and approximately six to eight smaller and more urgent maintenance jobs per year.
