Bluebridge have apparently sold the Strait Feronia, which is a strange move given how Interislander appear to be making such a mess of things a three ship service from Bluebridge could have offered them a huge advantage over the competition.

(Interislander down to two ferries now with Aratere retired until the new ferries that have yet to been ordered are delivered in 2029 !!)
