In a notice issued today, BC Ferries advises that on the night of August 16, 2012, after the last departure from Nanaimo Harbour terminal, line painting of the vehicle holding compound will commence and continue into the early morning.  Line painting at Gabriola Island’s Descanso Bay terminal will occur on the nights of August 22 and 23, 2012 after the Quinsam has secured in dock for the night.

Customers are advised that due to the work being done at the Gabriola Island terminal, the parking lot will be closed over night.

Any vehicles remaining in the parking lot when work commences each night will be towed, at the owner’s expense, to the Gabriola Towing compound which is approximately 1 kilometer from the terminal. Reminder notices will be posted prior to the commencement of this project both aboard the Quinsam and at the Gabriola Island terminal.
