MV Blue Puttees (ex-Stena Trader) is a Ro-Pax passenger/vehicle ferry operated by Marine Atlantic between the islands of Newfoundland and Cape Breton in eastern Canada. She is named after the nickname of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment. Largely built in Russia, her assembly was finished in Norway. As part of Stena Line she regularly ran between The Netherlands and the United Kingdom from 2007 to 2009. After being leased by Marine Atlantic, she was taken to Bremerhaven, Germany to be converted so as to better suit the North Sydney to Channel-Port aux Basques route, which she would be taking over. This conversion included the addition of a third bow thruster, increase and renovation of the passenger areas, and shortening of the vessel by 12m to help facilitate docking at Channel-Port aux Basques.[1] She entered regular passenger service with Marine Atlantic in early March 2011.[2] Her nearly identical sister ship {{MV|Highlanders}} followed her into service a few weeks later. In May 2015, Marine Atlantic announced that it had purchased both vessels from Stena for C$100 million each.[3] Incidents and accidentsOn July 31, 2013, Blue Puttees ran aground after missing a turn in the harbour of Port aux Basques. The vessel managed to free herself at high tide.[4] Following an underwater inspection, it was discovered that Blue Puttees had suffered damage to her bulbous bow, and would have to be taken out of service to allow repairs to take place at a drydock in Halifax.[5] She was returned to service on August 20, 2013.[6] References1. ^{{cite press release|url=http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/mediaroom/releases-2010-h060e-5946.htm|title=Government of Canada Invests in Two Ferries for Marine Atlantic Inc.|publisher=Transport Canada|date=May 21, 2010|accessdate=August 2, 2013|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130805200557/http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/mediaroom/releases-2010-h060e-5946.htm|archivedate=August 5, 2013|df=}} 2. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.thetelegram.com/Business/2011-01-11/article-2106931/MV-Blue-Puttees-draws-rave-reviews/1|title=MV Blue Puttees draws rave reviews|last=Hinchliffe|first=Aethne|date=January 11, 2011|work=The Telegram|accessdate=August 2, 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/marine-atlantic-purchases-mv-blue-puttees-mv-highlanders-1.3087746|title=Marine Atlantic Purchases MV Blue Puttees, MV Highlanders|accessdate=2015-05-26|date=2015-05-26|publisher=CBC News}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.gulfnews.ca/News/Local/2013-07-31/article-3334164/MV-Blue-Puttees-runs-aground-in-Port-aux-Basques-Harbour/1|title=MV Blue Puttees runs aground in Port aux Basques Harbour|first=Brodie|last=Thomas|work=The Gulf News|date=July 31, 2013|accessdate=August 2, 2013}} 5. ^{{cite press release|url=http://www.marine-atlantic.ca/uploads/file/2013-08-02%20MAI%20BP%20PM%20release.pdf|title=August 1 afternoon update on incident involving MV Blue Puttees|publisher=Marine Atlantic|date=August 1, 2013|accessdate=August 2, 2013}} 6. ^{{cite press release|url=http://marineatlantic.ca/uploads/file/2013-08-19-blue-puttees-update.pdf|title=MV Blue Puttees to Return to Service; Argentia Service to Resume|publisher=Marine Atlantic|date=August 19, 2013|accessdate=September 3, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304031910/http://www.marineatlantic.ca/uploads/file/2013-08-19-blue-puttees-update.pdf|archive-date=2016-03-04|dead-url=yes|df=}} External links
