The wearing of masks inside terminals and aboard ships has been mandatory since August.
“We expect our customers to follow the law and we continue to have a zero-tolerance policy for abuse of any kind towards our employees. Failure to follow the direction of our crew or abuse towards an employee may result in denial of service and Transport Canada enforcement measures,” B.C. Ferries president and CEO Mark Collins said in a statement.
On larger vessels, customers will still be able to remain in their vehicles on upper vehicle decks, which aren’t enclosed.
Passengers will still be able to remain below deck on vessels that sail between Langdale and Horseshoe Bay, due to vehicle deck modifications that were completed on those ships.
The company is also reopening certain seating areas on the vessels, such as the Pacific Buffet on its Spirit Class vessels, to provide passengers more space for physical distancing. Buffet food service isn’t being reintroduced at this time.
