The Manly Fast Ferry service will operate for another 15 years as part of a new deal signed by the NSW Government and the NRMA which will see the 20-minute trip from Manly to Circular Quay keep cruising into the next decade.
The new contract will deliver more peak services and a new environmentally friendly fleet with a hybrid-hydrogen ferry in service in the coming years and explore options for future electric ferries.
Commuters will also enjoy the convenience of paying for trips using an Opal card with Opal gates to be installed for Manly Fast Ferry services by the end of 2023.
Minister for Transport, Veterans and Western Sydney David Elliott said the new agreement would see the Manly Fast Ferry continue until 2037, providing the operator with confidence to invest in their vessels and continue to build the service into the future.
