Issued: 4:41 pm
Our 4:05 pm sailing from Port McNeill – Sointula (Malcolm Island) departed 22 minutes behind schedule due to crew taking time to get extra vehicles loaded where possible given today’s heavy volume of traffic. While we always aim to load vehicles as safely and efficiently as possible, higher-than-usual terminal traffic requires us to take extra time loading to ensure that every available space on board is maximized. A “max-load” takes a bit more time, but allows us to accommodate as many passengers as possible on busy days.
We know you have important places to be and apologize for any inconvenience you may experience as a result of this sailing delay. Our crew is doing everything they can to get us back on schedule.
