Danger Tree Removal at Shingle Spit Terminal

September 19: Teams will be on site at Hornby Island on Thursday, September 21 to fall two dead trees that are currently posing a hazard near the terminal. The trees will be laid down and left. No live trees will be cut and no digging of any kind will take place. Our terminal maintenance team will be on site to supervise all work and there will be no operational impacts.

September 12: Two trees have broken near our Shingle Spit terminal and are posing a danger to the roadway and staff parking area. The trees that have come down are snagged on other trees in the area and BC Ferries staff do not have the required skills or equipment to do this work. The area has been flagged off for safety and we are in the process of hiring a contractor to come and safely lay the trees down. There will not be any digging or disruption of the forest floor and BC Ferries staff will be on site to supervise all work being done.
