Campbell River - Quadra Island Proposed Schedule

We're getting ready to introduce two new Island Class vessels on the Campbell River - Quadra Island route in early 2022. Two-ship service for this route will be organized so that:

- Both vessels will home port on Quadra Island, i.e. both will be tied up on Quadra when not in service
- One vessel will maintain the 16 hour service day you experience today
- The second vessel will provide additional service during the peak travelling hours of the day starting at 7:30am

We have developed a proposed schedule for the new Island Class ships that provides two-ship service during the busiest times. Key features of the proposed schedule include:

- Up to 59% more capacity in peak times
- No changes to the Heriot Bay - Whaletown schedule
- Short breaks in the schedule in the morning and evening to provide crew on both vessels with their required meal breaks

We want to ensure that the schedules we've proposed balance operational requirements with community needs and are asking for your thoughts. We look forward to hearing from you.
