MV Wolfe Islander IV is a zero emission ferry serving between Kingston, Ontario and Wolfe Island in the Great Lakes. It replaces the ferry MV Wolfe Islander III and brings 50% more capacity. Wolfe Islander IV was constructed alongside another ferry, Amherst Islander II, using the same zero emission technology and which will serve between Amherst Island and Millhaven, Ontario.
Wolfe Islander IV was built at the Damen Galați shipyard in Romania. It was originally anticipated to be brought into full-time service in mid 2022, but faced several delays due in part to crew shortages and incomplete docking infrastructure.
The ferry began full-time service August 17, 2024.
