BC Ferries has the following guidelines in place to determine whether an extra sailing will be provided when the last sailing of the day from Heriot Bay or Whaletown is overloaded:
The vessel will return for an extra trip when there are 11 or more vehicles left behind.
If the second to last sailing of the day is overloaded, the vessel will return for an extra trip when there are 6 or more vehicles left behind on the final scheduled sailing.
Please note: BC Ferries receives funding for scheduled sailings only. Additional sailings are not funded under the Coastal Ferry Services Contract with the BC Government.
For more information on the Coastal Ferry Services Contract, please visit www.bcferrycommission.com.
