Eidsvaag Sirius hoists the Canadian flag

Skretting Canada Inc of Bayside, NB, representing owners Eidsvaag AS , registered Eidsvaag Sirius in Halifax June 20. The ship arrived in Halifax June 11, and was covered in my post of June 12.

The ship sailed this morning, June 26 for its new homeport of Bayside.

It replaces Eidsvaag Vinland which worked in the region for several years, transporting fish feed around Nova Scotia, New Brunswick. Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. It put in to Halifax only once, to shelter from a storm, and tied up at the same pier that Eidsvaag Sirius occupied.

I don't expect to see much of Eidsvaag Sirius in Halifax once it enters service either.
