About the Tsawwassen to Duke Point ferry
The Tsawwassen to Duke Point ferry connects the Metro Vancouver mainland directly to Nanaimo's south terminal. It's the go-to route for traffic heading to central and northern Vancouver Island, and it carries a heavy share of commercial trucks alongside passenger vehicles.
Live BC Ferries current conditions for this route are shown above — every scheduled sailing today, its vehicle-deck fill percentage, and any full or cancelled sailings, refreshed every five minutes.
The crossing is about 2 hours across the Strait of Georgia. Sailings are less frequent than the Horseshoe Bay–Departure Bay route, so if a sailing fills the wait to the next one is longer — checking live capacity before you leave saves a lot of terminal time.
