The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure has received approval from the Canadian Marine Advisory Council for all provincial vessels to return to full capacity.

At the start of the pandemic, capacity on provincial ferries had been reduced to 50 per cent. This was increased to 80 per cent in August 2020 and 85 per cent in May 2021.

In addition to this capacity change, the Canadian Marine Advisory Council has approved the resumption of canteen services on all vessels.

These approvals are based on recent public health recommendations within the province.

Ferry schedules, daily service updates, contact information, and more information on each ferry routes is available online.

“We are pleased to have been granted this approval as this change in capacity will greatly benefit all ferry users within our province, and we thank them for their patience and understanding throughout the pandemic.”
Honourable Elvis Loveless
Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure
