Thanks doug, that is a great find and there were signs a few months ago, I think I may have a screenshot but I don't think I do. It was one night back on the current conditions page when I went to Langdale to HSB current conditions. Where it has all the buttons (f.e. check actual departure times) It also had vessel tracking button, however it was removed within a few minutes, that is what gave a bit of a hint and this is another piece of the puzzle. How did you find it anyways?

hmm that's interesting. It would be cool to have a ship tracking, just like WSF.

Wow, Now this is a cool site, thanks for posting it.  Currently it is 11:28am Wednsday morning and you will find that the Queen of Alberni is running 1 hour late, That is because at 10:30am while heading out she had to return to Duke Point due to a Medical Emergency. I heard her on the scanner talking to Victoria Traffic. Also of interest, The Queen of Cowichan which departed Departure Bay at about 10:47am outbound spotted some killer whales between Snake Island and Malaspina point. You will find that the Queen of Esquimalt is in berth 1 at Departure Bay, she arrived early last evening. The Queen of Coquitlam according to one of the Westcoast Mariner magazines should be at Deas Dock as she was expected thier on Sept 5. The Bowen Queen Departed Tsawwasen late Tuesday morning, not sure where she was going. |

You can now see each ship on this page plus their status!
I wonder why they are all going slower than 11 knots.

There is a problem and a bug with the system, first, why can they not consolidate SGI and SWB-TSA? Second, if you put your pointer over the dot or arrow, it will tell you the vessel is going 10.5 knots even in the middle of Georgia Strait.

I'd say it's about 10 knots slower than it should be.

Probably is but it's not going 10 knots in the Dock Don't forget.
It could be a glitch but it could be correct. Just depends how fast they get there.
Often when running late the ships go faster. I wonder how fast are you going if the ship is going 10 knots

Wow, too cool.
The New West was going 10.3 knots about 20 minutes after the passing point. I don't know why it's so screwed, but hey, it's better then what we had before.
