The Spirit of Lax Kw’alaams continues to wait for an engine part, and will not be in service Sunday May 26, 2024. A barge and water taxi will run in lieu of the previously scheduled sailings. To improve accessibility, the water taxi has added a second stop to pick up foot passengers at Gat Leedm Dock.

Amix Group Terminal barge is located at the end of Mish Aw Road, in the Prince Rupert industrial site. Vehicle passengers will load their vehicle to the barge, and travel by water taxi.

Gat Leedm Dock is located at 90 Charlie Currie Road near Cow Bay. Foot passengers may board the water taxi at either Amix Group Terminal (with vehicle passengers) or at Gat Leedm Dock. The ramp at the Gat Leedm Dock is more accommodating for travellers with accessibility needs.

Due to space limitations, all passengers, including foot passengers, must make a reservation by calling 250-625-2445. Regular ferry fares apply when travelling on the barge and water taxi.

Afternoon:
4pm Amix Group Terminal – Drop off vehicles to barge, vehicle passengers board water taxi
4:20pm Gat Leedm Dock – Ferry fares collected. Foot passengers board water taxi

The crew is operating day-by-day to resolve the engine issue. The crew will continue to update travelers about impacts to ferry services. The crew of the Spirit of Lax Kw’alaams apologizes for the inconvenience.
