Swartz Bay Terminal Projects
and Marine Upgrades
July 2024 – Spring 2025
Starting this summer, you will begin to notice construction activity at Swartz Bay Terminal as we undertake work to upgrade Berth 5 and the Lands End Terminal Building.
While we do not anticipate any impact on service, please be aware that noise levels around the terminal will be higher than usual.
This work is essential to support improved on-time performance, increase berth availability, and enhance the overall customer experience for those travelling through the terminal.
