US EditionBC Ferries' Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo sailings to become reservation
- Beginning this fall, all vehicles traveling westbound on the Horseshoe Bay–Departure Bay route will need to make reservations in advance, as standby options will be discontinued except for emergency and medically prioritized vehicles.
- This policy responds to major construction reducing Horseshoe Bay terminal vehicle capacity by about 25 percent and aims to manage worsening congestion seen during the Easter long weekend.
- The project includes deconstructing the elevated holding area, relocating the control tower, and plans to upgrade or replace three berths to improve operational efficiency and seismic resiliency.
- Melanie Lucia, vice-president of BC Ferries, explained that the adjustment affects traffic moving in only one direction and aims to avoid congestion spilling onto the highway, thereby ensuring the safety of both passengers and employees.
- These measures aim to maintain reliable service and safety during terminal renewal while reservations remain optional but recommended from Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay.
