Horseshoe Bay Terminal
Transfer Deck Life Extension
August 11 – 25, 2024
As part of our ongoing commitment to ensure the safe operation of our terminal facilities, necessary work to extend the life of the transfer deck and overhead walkway at the Horseshoe Bay terminal will resume, starting Sunday, August 11.
This work is expected to take 1-2 weeks and will occur overnight Sunday through Thursday between 9:00 pm and 5:00 am. We do not anticipate any major operational impacts; however, customers may experience slight delays when loading and unloading during these hours.
Noise levels around the terminal may be higher than normal, and our teams will work to minimize impacts to both our customers and neighbours.
BC Ferries would like to thank our customers and neighbors for their patience and understanding as we complete this required work.
