As directed by County Council, staff shall consider the following when loading the Frontenac-Howe Islander Ferry during the hours of 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. travelling off the Island and the hours of 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. travelling onto the Island (peak periods):

 

  • One “heavy truck”, defined with a weight/length combination not to exceed 21 tonnes and 8.5 metres/28 feet, may be loaded during peak periods travelling in the identified directions as long as, in the opinion of on-duty staff, the “heavy truck” can be loaded efficiently and safely onto the ferry with 14 other vehicles or a combination of vehicles and trailers.

 

  • Fuel trucks will be scheduled to cross at a common time to alleviate the disruption in passenger service.
