Adverse Weather Conditions - Arctic Outflow - December 21, 2022

Environment Canada has issued an arctic outflow warning about a weather system that may impact our service tomorrow, Wednesday, December 21. The warning is in effect for:

  • East Vancouver Island
  • Greater Victoria
  • Howe Sound
  • Metro Vancouver
  • Southern Gulf Islands

Strong winds and bitterly cold temperatures are expected throughout Metro Vancouver, Southern Vancouver Island and surrounding areas. Wind chill values are expected to drop down to minus 25 beginning this evening into Thursday, December 22. Please allow extra time to arrive for your sailing as ice and snow could lead to dangerous driving conditions on roadways and at terminals. Service interruptions may occur as a result. 

We will continue to monitor this unstable weather system and share further information as it comes available.

Should sailings be cancelled, customers who have booked in advance will have their reservation fees and fares refunded automatically. Customers wanting to plan ahead and adjust their booking(s) as a result of these potential weather cancellations can call us at 1-888-223-3779 ext.1 to make a change. 

Please continue to monitor statements and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
