Berth Closures
Full berth closures are scheduled on:
• SATURDAY, APRIL 6
Return to regular schedule and service: April 8
- Monday, April 8 – Full regular schedule and service reinstated

The company is asking customers to plan ahead for their travel during this time and is supporting customers during cancellations and closures with water taxis, shuttle bus service on Bowen Island, and discounted/ complimentary parking in Horseshoe Bay.
More information on mitigation plans will be available shortly, and will be communicated via Service Notice, on the project page (URL below), at the terminal and on the vessel.
Schedule adjustments have been decided with input from the community, and are designed to minimize impact on regular travel patterns as much as possible. Weekend days were selected for full berth closures to minimize the impact on commuters, businesses and school children.
