About Amherst Islander II

The Amherst Islander II is a hybrid electric-diesel ferry boat which serves to connect Amherst Island to the mainland across Lake Ontario. It has terminals at Millhaven Wharf in Millhaven, Ontario and Stella Wharf on Amherst Island. It replaces the MV Frontenac II built in 1962. The Amherst Islander II was constructed with another ferry, the MV Wolfe Islander IV, using the same hybrid technology for a purchase price of roughly $94 million. The Amherst Islander II was launched November 2019, from Damen Galați shipyard in Romania. The new ferry has an LOA of 72 metres, a beam of 20 metres, a gross tonnage of 1,230, and capacity for 300 passengers and 42 cars. The vessel is designed to be capable of fully electric operation but is also equipped with twin diesel generators to allow hybrid or full diesel propulsion for maximum redundancy or for sailings at a top speed of 12 knots.
