Operations Control Tower

See delays before they spread. Measure what they cost. Surface the issues that matter. Public operational data, turned into decision-ready intelligence for the Salish Sea ferry network. Independent build; not affiliated with BC Ferries.

Labels

Vehicle-deck booking fill today · departed · capacity routes what-if →

Space sold, not vehicles counted aboard: BC Ferries reports roughly 10–20% of reservations as no-shows, which reopens space at the ramp. High fill means demand is outrunning bookable supply, so expect sellouts and turned-away drive-up traffic.

This is the bar any fix has to clear: schedule padding or an extra crew shift is cheap against it.

🧠 Intelligence Missed sailings, berth turnarounds, weather & sellout modelling

Missed sailings yesterday · AIS-detected experimental

checking coverage…

Unconfirmed: a scheduled sailing with no AIS crossing, after reception gaps are filtered out. BC Ferries reports cancellations at route level, but per-sailing detail can disappear from Current Conditions once the disruption ends, so an independently archived record is worth keeping. Treat these as candidates to corroborate, not as confirmed cancellations.

Slow worst-decile turnarounds, not slow medians, are what cascade delays through a vessel's day.

A sailing trending to sell out is a reservation warning that could go out hours earlier than it does.
