  • All passengers will be required to stay in their vehicle during the crossing.
  • To request access to washroom facilities, passengers must alert staff by honking their vehicle’s horn.
  • Enhanced cleaning and sanitizing practices will be introduced and undertaken throughout the day in between crossings.
  • Passengers waiting onshore are asked to maintain physical distance from others.
