It's back! MV Nikolaos resumes Gozo Channel service
There are now four ferries in operation.

Following a two-month hiatus, the MV Nikolaos was spotted in Gozo as it recommences its service with Gozo Channel. 

Initially leased along with its foreign crew last summer, the ferry became a fixture with the local fleet until its service was temporarily halted during the Coronavirus pandemic. 

There are now four vessels operating the daily trips between Malta and Gozo; Ta' Pinu, Gaudos, Malita and the Nikolaos.
