自上次报道以来的变化

11 小时后

现在

周六晚间航次已取消;周日两个方向的上午7点和9点航次仍面临风险——尚未确认取消。

下午5点是Tsawwassen和Swartz Bay两座码头周六最后一班计划航次。BC Ferries取消了两个方向的晚上7点和9点航次,导致连接低陆平原与温哥华岛的这条航线上,深夜的两个出行选项都被取消。⁠1

不确定性目前延续到11月8日周日早晨:两个码头的上午7点和9点航次均被列为可能取消。这是四班面临风险的航次,此外还有四班已确认取消——并非八班航次都已取消。目前尚未确定周日这些航次后续会如何决定。本报道中的所有出发时间均为太平洋时间。⁠1⁠50

在我们于11月8日00:01 UTC发布的报道中,我们报道了风暴造成的停电和渡轮服务中断,包括周六晚间航次取消的消息。本文补充的信息涉及周日四班面临风险的航次、周六最后一班计划航次的出发时间,以及运营方承诺联系并向已预订取消航次的乘客退款。

4周日早间航次面临风险 1

出发通知明确了什么

周六的取消涉及11月7日Tsawwassen开往Swartz Bay方向的晚上7点和9点航次,以及Swartz Bay开往Tsawwassen方向同一时刻的两班航次。全线共取消四班,而不是每个码头各取消四班。据CTV News刊载的BC Ferries周六声明,取消原因是预期将出现强风。⁠1

运营方对晚间服务截止时间的措辞很明确:“今晚最后的计划航次将是从Tsawwassen和Swartz Bay出发的下午5:00航次”。这说明声明发布时仍在计划表上的航次情况。但仅凭这句话,无法确认两班下午5点航次最终是否实际运营。⁠1

周日的警告适用于两个方向的前两班早间航次。两班上午7点航次是最早需要关注的关键节点,其后是两班上午9点航次。因此,计划清早过海的旅客面临的问题与周六预订被取消的旅客不同:他们的航次仍可能运营,但目前还没有确定的出发安排。⁠1

这一区别关系到实际安排,并非文字游戏。航次取消会让旅客失去一个出行选项;被列为可能取消,则意味着计划尚未确定。称周日航次已经取消,会夸大公告内容;把它们当作已经确认恢复运营,则会轻描淡写公告所表达的风险。

风力风险,而非恢复时间

加拿大环境与气候变化部警告称,预计周六晚间大维多利亚地区将出现强风。BC Ferries发布的范围更广的运营警告则指出,乔治亚海峡的强风和浪高对航运服务构成风险,11月8日还可能出现进一步中断。这些是对预期天气状况的警告,并非测得的最大风速报告。⁠43⁠56

此次中断发生在周五温哥华岛与低陆平原之间数十班渡轮航次取消之后;当天风雨还导致数万人断电。CTV报道称,该省正面临一连串风暴,预计将持续到下周中期。这条航线连夜的不确定性属于这段更广泛的不稳定天气过程,而不是一个已经承诺何时结束的单一取消时段。⁠1

现有的BC Ferries公告并未说明周日四班面临风险的航次将逐班如何决定,也没有给出服务恢复正常的时间。计划中的早间航次并不能证明天气已经好转;同样,可能出现服务中断的警告也不能证明周日将全面停航。⁠50⁠53⁠54

对于预订已被取消的乘客,BC Ferries表示,其客户服务中心将直接联系他们并提供退款。这是对受影响的已订票乘客作出的承诺,并不意味着所有人都已收到退款。声明也没有说明,周日的预订仅因航次面临风险就会得到同样处理。⁠1

因此,接下来值得关注的消息很具体:Tsawwassen和Swartz Bay的上午7点航次能否成行,随后是两班上午9点航次的状态。在这些决定明确之前,周六晚间服务已确认取消,之后仍是局势未定——并没有保证早晨恢复航运。

播出原貌
  1. BC Ferries has flagged four morning crossings at risk, extending uncertainty for travellers.
  2. Four Saturday evening sailings between Tsawwassen and Swartz Bay are already cancelled, removing the route's late crossing options.
  3. In our November 8 coverage, we reported storm-driven power outages and ferry disruption. Travellers now need to know whether Sunday's first crossings can go ahead.
  4. The affected route connects the Lower Mainland with Vancouver Island. BC Ferries cancelled the late sailings because of expected high winds. Its broader warning identified high winds and wave height in the Strait of Georgia as hazards to service.
  5. For Saturday, November 7, the cancellations cover the seven p.m. and nine p.m. departures from Tsawwassen. The same two departure times are cancelled from Swartz Bay. That's four crossings altogether. All these departure times are Pacific.
  6. BC Ferries cancelled four Saturday crossings and put four Sunday crossings at risk. Sunday's warning means those sailings could still operate if conditions allow. Travellers with morning plans are waiting for a decision on those departures.
  7. The Sunday warning covers November 8 departures at seven a.m. and nine a.m. from each terminal. That puts the first two morning departure times in doubt in both directions, after passengers have already lost Saturday's later evening options.
  8. BC Ferries set five p.m. as the final scheduled Saturday departure from each terminal. Anyone planning a seven or nine p.m. crossing had lost both of those later options in either direction.
  9. Environment and Climate Change Canada warned of strong winds across Greater Victoria on Saturday evening. BC Ferries also warned that weather could disrupt service on Sunday. Those warnings describe expected conditions, with the next morning's crossings still dependent on the weather.
  10. The disruption follows dozens of cancelled ferry trips between Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland on Friday. Wind and rain also knocked out power to tens of thousands. The province is facing a series of storms expected to continue into the middle of next week.
  11. Seven a.m. is the first threatened Sunday departure time from both terminals, followed by nine a.m. BC Ferries hasn't announced a final decision on those crossings or a time for normal service to resume.
  12. BC Ferries says its customer service centre will contact customers booked on cancelled sailings and provide refunds. That promise applies to cancelled bookings. Customers on Sunday's at-risk departures are still waiting to learn whether their crossings will go ahead.
