Update as of January 9, 11:20 am:

Please be advised that the Salish Raven has cancelled sailings January 8 and 9. Due to a crewing shortage, sailings were cancelled on January 8, impacting our ability to make a required fuelling stop. As a result, select sailings are cancelled January 9, in order for the vessel to take on fuel at Tsawwassen.

Cancelled Sunday, January 9:

To accommodate customers with bookings on the impacted, cancelled sailings, the Salish Raven which was previously scheduled to sail from Tsawwassen to Long Harbour at 9:05 pm before tying up for the night will make additional stops and operate on a modified schedule later that evening as follows.

Revised schedule Sunday, January 9:

Customers who were previously booked on the 5:40 pm sailing exiting Tsawwassen with a transfer sailing to connect to Otter Bay or Lyall Harbour will not be able to travel to these destinations on the revised 9:40 pm Tsawwassen departure, as there are no connecting sailings at that time. In order to travel from Tsawwassen to Otter Bay or Lyall Harbour, customers will need to travel thru fare via Swartz Bay, keeping in mind that the latest connecting sailing is 5:00 pm and connections are not guaranteed.

We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience you may experience as a result of this cancellation. We are working to resolve the issue and we will keep you informed as soon as more information becomes available.

Your safety is important to us, and we require a specific number of crew members on board the vessel to ensure the safety of our passengers in the unlikely event of an emergency and to comply with Transport Canada regulations. 

We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience you may experience as a result of this cancellation. 

Our goal is to inform our customers as early as possible of any changes to our scheduled sailings. We recommend that for the most up-to-date sailing and departure information, our customers also follow @BCFerries on Twitter, visit our Current Conditions webpage at www.bcferries.com or call us toll free at 1-888-223-3779.
