Temporary Vessel Replacement
Port McNeill – Alert Bay (Cormorant Island) – Sointula (Malcolm Island) 
October 2 – December 15, 2024

The Quadra Queen II will provide service on our Port McNeill – Alert Bay (Cormorant Island) – Sointula (Malcolm Island) route from October 2 to December 15, 2024 while the Island Aurora temporarily provides service on our Blubber Bay (Texada Island) – Westview (Powell River) route before entering its own scheduled refit. The Island Aurora will return to service on its regular route mid-December.

As the vehicle capacity on the Quadra Queen II is lower than the Island Aurora (approximately 20 vehicles less), customers are encouraged to carpool to minimize potential sailing waits.

We recognize some customers will be impacted when travelling on this route, and we thank the community and local businesses in advance for your patience as we complete this necessary work.
