Service notice - Sailing Delay

Posted:   Friday, October 18, 2024

Issued: 6:47 am

Our 5:40 pm sailing from Village Bay (Mayne Island) – Otter Bay (Pender Island) departed 57 minutes behind schedule due transfer traffic and 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 expect the 6:15 pm departing Otter Bay, the 7:25 pm departing Swartz Bay, the 8:25 pm departing Otter Bay, the 9:15 pm departing Village Bay, and the 9:50 pm departing Otter Bay sailings to also be delayed.

For up-to-date sailing and departure information, check Current Conditions, follow @BCFerries on X or phone 1-888-223-3779 for further assistance.
