To ensure the safe loading of the vessels, we recommend arriving at the terminal outside of the specified time frames for the designated vehicle types. This will help mitigate the risk of potential loading issues.

To check if the tidal conditions are low on the day of your travel, please see the latest updates available here: https://tides.gc.ca/en/stations/08074. 

We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience you may experience as a result of this loading delay. The crew will work to get you to your destination as quickly as possible, when it is safe to do so.
