The vehicle was spotted driving through a barricade at the terminal, off the ferry ramp and into the water at around 9 p.m. on Saturday.
Staff Sgt. Jeff Johnston said the fire department responded and put a boat onto the water immediately. He said the underwater recovery team joined the search later Sunday morning.
The ferry, which links Quispamsis, N.B. with Kingston Peninsula was not operational at the time of the incident.
