Update 6.21.2022 1:37 PM
Guemes apron repair will delay 1:30 and 2:00 p.m. sailings
The repair to the Guemes apron is taking longer than anticipated. Service is anticipated to resume within the hour. We will keep you posted.
Previous message: Today, Tuesday, June 21, starting at 11:45 a.m., crews will replace a hydraulic ram on the Guemes apron. This repair needs to be done in order to continue to provide safe and reliable service. They will work as quickly as possible to get this done; however, the 1:00 p.m. sailing may be delayed.
A double run (an extra sailing after the 11:15 a.m. sailing) will not be available today. Normally, we would fuel the vessel today, but that has shifted; therefore, a double run will not be available tomorrow, Wednesday, June 22. And, on Thursday, June 23, crews will do an oil change and other planned maintenance, and a double run will not be available.
We hope this notification will help with planning how you ride the ferry this week.
