There are at least three contractors showing an interest in operating the Belleisle and Gagetown ferries.
The provincial government plans to hand over the two ferry services to community led groups in both areas once all they have all legal documentation in place.
Transportation Minister Denis Landry says former M-L-A Eric Allaby will quarterback the transition process.
Meantime — Landry says the province will continue to operate the ferries until the transition is complete — but — both services will only operate between 6 in the morning and 11 in the evening beginning Friday.
