===Ferries=== In 2009, a larger and more modern vessel, the {{MV|Atlantic Vision}}, was added to the fleet. With a larger carrying capacity and an equivalent [[ice class]] to the MV ''Caribou'', the MV ''Atlantic Vision'' was introduced as the new flagship for Marine Atlantic.<ref name="ferry lease">{{cite web|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/marine-atlantic-renews-lease-for-mv-atlantic-vision-1.2943327 |title=Marine Atlantic renews lease for MV Atlantic Vision|access-date=2015-10-26|date=2015-02-03|publisher=CBC News}}</ref> Following the retirement of the MV ''Caribou'' and the MV ''Joseph and Clara Smallwood'', two more new ships were acquired on a 5-year charter from [[Stena Line]].

Marine Atlantic announced in May 2015 that it would be purchasing both ships for [[Canadian dollar|C$]]100 Million each.<ref name="ferry purchase">{{cite web|url=https://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|access-date=2015-05-26|date=2015-05-26|publisher=CBC News}}</ref>
