The Kuper will be going in for refit from October 11th to December 9th, 2023. The last refit was October to December of 2018.
The replacement vessel will once again be the Kahloke. BC Ferries has indicated that the maximum number of cars the Kahloke can carry is 23. Since the Kahloke was last on this route, in 2018, Transport Canada has significantly downgraded its carrying capacity from 155 tonnes to 88 tonnes.
BC Ferries fleet scheduling group have been working on a revised schedule for the two months that the Kuper is in refit.
