Service notice - Low Tidal Conditions - December 2023

Posted:   Wednesday, August 09, 2023

Updated on: Monday, October 30

Low Tidal Conditions
Quathiaski Cove (Quadra Island) – Campbell River (Vancouver Island)

November - December, 2023

Due to tidal conditions between Quathiaski Cove (Quadra Island) and Campbell River (Vancouver Island), some buses, RV's, low bed vehicles and other vehicles with very low ground clearance, or extended overhangs on the rear axle, may be unable to travel on the 8:55 pm or later sailings on select days throughout November and December.

To ensure the safe loading of the Island Nagalis and Island K'ulut'a, we recommend customers with these designated vehicle types travel on earlier scheduled sailings to help mitigate the risk of potential loading issues.

Customers can check if the tidal conditions are low on the day of travel here: https://tides.gc.ca/en/stations/08074.

Your patience is appreciated as the crew will work to get you to your destination as quickly as possible, when it is safe to do so.

We recommend that for the most up-to-date sailing and departure information, our customers follow our @BCFerries X account or visit bcferries.com.
