Issued: 5:27 pm

Our 4:45 pm sailing from Long Harbour (Salt Spring Island) to Tsawwassen (Vancouver) departed 26 minutes behind schedule due to the crew taking time to get extra vehicles loaded where possible given today’s heavy volume of traffic.

We expect that the 6:45 pm departing Tsawwassen, the 7:50 pm departing Sturdies Bay (Galiano Island), and the 8:30 pm departing Village Bay (Mayne Island) to Tsawwassen will also be delayed.

If you have a reservation on an upcoming sailing today, please arrive during the check-in window noted in your booking confirmation email to maintain your reserved status. This ensures we can stage your vehicle at the terminal ahead of standby customers and those reserved on later sailings.
