As part of the Mayors’ Council’s Ten-Year Vision, TransLink’s delivering a new SeaBus, scheduled for delivery early next year! This means more frequent service will be coming between Waterfront Station and Lonsdale Quay with sailings every 10 minutes during rush hour.

Construction began back in November 2017 and the keel was laid this past February. Since then, our shipbuilder Damen Shipyards have made tremendous progress on the hull (the bottom of the vessel), wheelhouse (where the captain commands the ship from) and passenger cabin. Check out the pictures!

The Wheelhouse

It might not look like much yet, but just wait! The next big milestone in construction comes when the hull is pulled out, flipped over and attached to the passenger cabin and wheelhouses! This work is scheduled to begin at the end of this month—that’s when it will actually start to look like a SeaBus. Stay tuned! We’ll have photos to share with you every step of the way!
