How many days has the Interislander operated a one-ship schedule in each calendar year since 2024, and how many days is it forecast to operate a one-ship schedule in each of 2026, 2027 and 2028?

Answer

There is no readily available record of this data in previous years. The current arrangement is from 22 June to late September 2026. There will be maintenance periods in the coming years, but wet and dry dock scheduling is a commercial matter which is confirmed once companies have booked them. We understand Bluebridge and Interislander coordinate these activities to maintain a three-ship total fleet during these periods, and both schedule maintenance during the less busy winter period.
