Alaska Barge Restrictions

Barging Between Alaska & Washington
New barging rules prohibit the transportation of anything on the outside of a vehicle.
 This means roof racks should be empty; bike racks etc on the font or back of a vehicle should be empty etc etc.
The reasoning behind these rules is that insurance will not cover damage of anything except the vehicle itself.

To book barge space or for further clarification on barge restrictions call 1-800-686-0446

The Salish Heron Due Into BC Ferries' Service This Year

The Southern Gulf Islands will soon welcome the newest addition to the BC Ferries fleet as the Salish Heron commences service between Swartz Bay & Pender Island, Saturna Island, Mayne Island and Galiano island.

The Salish Heron is the final of four Polish build Salish-class vessels.
After having sailed out of Poland on Dec. 22, she has now passed through the Panama Canal and is heading north with an anticipated arrival in Victoria BC in late February.

After an inspection in Victoria, the ferry will head to Vancouver where the design of a heron by Maynard Johnny Jr. Penelakut - a First Nation artist, will be applied.

Each of the Salish class ferries feature unique Indigenous artwork on their exteriors.
