Welcome to the Otter Bay Terminal Project Page
Otter Bay terminal on Pender Island plays a vital role in connecting the Southern Gulf Islands to Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland. It supports essential travel for residents, visitors, goods, and services, and is a key part of the region’s transportation network.
As part of BC Ferries’ ongoing commitment to safe, reliable, and efficient ferry service, we are planning necessary upgrades to aging infrastructure at Otter Bay terminal. These improvements will help extend the life of the terminal, improve operational efficiency, and support the future needs of the communities we serve.
Planning for this work is underway, and this page will be home for updates on project timelines, scope and any potential service impacts.

We understand the impact a berth closure can have to the community. With that in mind, we plan to take the following steps to help mitigate disruption:
Alternate service (water taxi) will be provided to foot passengers in place of any affected sailings
Free parking will be provided in Otter Bay and Swartz Bay prior to and during berth closures
Working with commercial users to ensure essential goods continue to be available on the island during the closure
NO impact to Dangerous Goods sailings
Are there other mitigation measures, or important community dates or events we should consider? (Click 'Go to Discussion' to provide your answer)
