Dangerous goods sailing schedule

BC Ferries offers a dedicated service for transporting dangerous goods to communities where other practical options aren’t available. Because these shipments are regulated by federal safety requirements, sailings that carry dangerous goods cannot carry passengers at the same time.

Dangerous goods sailings on the following routes are designated solely for customers transporting products that are forbidden or exceed allowable quantities or container size limits, unless transported on a ferry without passengers.
