As part of our ongoing commitment to ensure the safe operation of our terminal facilities, replacement of the decking and asphalt will take place on the Otter Bay terminal trestle between Monday, July 29, until Friday, August 2, 2024.
The work is scheduled to be performed overnight between 10:00 pm and 6:00 am, with no expected impact to the scheduled sailing times.
Noise levels around the terminal may be higher than normal, and our teams will work to minimize impacts to both our customers and neighbours.

We will continue to update this Service Notice if there are any changes to this scheduled work.
