Car and passenger ferries serve as vital transportation links for Nova Scotia, connecting the province to several neighboring regions. These ferry services operate between Nova Scotia and ports located in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, and the U.S. state of Maine.1

While ferry services historically connected Prince Edward Island to the mainland, the completion of the Confederation Bridge in 1997 now provides a direct road link between that province and New Brunswick, shifting much of the regional transport to overland trucking.2
