Service notice - Holding Outside of Dock

Posted:   Wednesday, November 13, 2024

Updated: 5:10 pm

The Swartz Bay (Victoria) - Southern Gulf Islands vessel continues to hold outside of dock due to a mechanical difficulty. The 3:20 pm sailing from Otter Bay (Pender Island) to Swartz Bay will be delayed as we investigate the problem with the vessel's main vehicle deck visor.

Our teams are working to fix this and will keep you informed as more information becomes available. As soon as the problem is resolved, the vessel will resume service.

We know you have important places to be. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience you may experience.

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