The Shields Ferry has had a new engine fitted on one of its two vessels.
Nexus, the public body which owns and operates the cross-Tyne service, bought the refurbished power unit from a supplier in Norway.
The Spirit of the Tyne has got the new diesel motor as part of a £400,000 investment programme.
This allows one of the Spirit^s current engines to be taken away for an overhaul without having to take the boat out of service for a lengthy period.
