Parking reminder for fishing crews.
There are plenty of areas on wharf property to park that will not impede on daily operations such as fuel and bait deliveries, buyer's tractor trailers and in the off chance that emergency vehicles are required.

There are also parking spaces along Main Street along the wharf property as well. The 3rd pic shows an area where several vehicles can park that will not interfere with traffic.
Thank you for your cooperation.

If you are a new or visiting fisherman in Richibucto Port and have not been assigned a berth, please reach out to Harbour Master Jody Pratt 506-961-6038 to ensure that you are not docking in one of our local fisher's berths. Thank you for your cooperation.

Vehicle parking continues to be an issue on the wharf. We have had an incident with a parked truck and our fuel delivery truck early this morning. We will put some barricades up in certain areas to ensure any further issues.

On a side note, there was a report of a second incident where a parked truck was heavily damaged. This turned out to be AI generated photos sent to the owner of the vehicle. We nor the police have the time to investigate incidents that have never occurred. Please refrain from blowing things out of proportion online without all of the facts. Thank you.

Today is the big day 🦞
Our fleet will set out to set their gear at 6am. We ask that all crews consider where they leave their vehicles while fishing. Our neighbours property lines must be respected as well as those of the wharf facility.

Please do not park on properties that effect the business activity of local businesses such as the Family Dairy Bar, Dixie Lee, First Star Convenience/Pizza Shack, and the Richibucto Marina.

If necessary to park on the wharf, be sure that you are not blocking any main traffic paths, other vehicles, equipment or buildings. While crews depart to dump their gear, each buyer work hastily to setup their operations for the season. It is at sometime very hectic and chaotic to make this transition and we would like to mitigate any further complications or delays by having to work around parked vehicles.

Thank you all for your understanding and cooperation. Good luck to all crews! Stay safe.

Found one. Thank you.
Maybe next time they won't order a boat from Ikea on the day before setting.

Would anyone have a hull plug? We have a boat that came not fully assembled it seems.
