Nanaimo Harbour Terminal
Notice of Project Work

October 27 – May 2026

As part of our commitment to maintaining safe and reliable terminal facilities, we will begin necessary work to extend the life of the Nanaimo Harbour terminal berth on October 27, 2025. The project is expected to be completed by the end of January 2026.

Terminal electrification work for the arrival of the battery-equipped Island Class vessels in 2026 is also scheduled to begin in January and be completed by the end of May.

Work will be completed between sailings from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm, or overnight between 5:00 pm and 5:00 am, Monday through Friday. Overnight work is required for some aspects of the project to minimize disruption to terminal operations and avoid impacts to scheduled crossing times.

All efforts will be made to minimize construction noise, and we will keep neighbours informed of the exact timing and anticipated impacts of any night work in advance. 

Thank you to our customers and neighbours for your patience as we complete this required work. 

For up-to-date sailing and departure information, check Current Conditions, follow @BCFerries on X or phone 1-888-223-3779 for further assistance.
