Two terminals add weekend ferries; Saltgate’s start date is disputed

Eastwick Pier has run Saturday and Sunday sailings since 5 September. Saltgate Terminal followed in September, but its public records give two different start dates.

Two of the three ferry terminals on the strait now run weekend departures. Corran Quay keeps its weekday timetable, and one of the new services began on a date the records do not agree on.

What changed at each terminal

Eastwick Pier added Saturday and Sunday departures from 5 September, with four sailings on each weekend day, according to the Strait Ferries service bulletin.

Corran Quay keeps a Monday to Friday timetable this season. The council’s transport minutes say no change is proposed until the spring review.

The disputed date

Saltgate Terminal added weekend departures in September, but the two records that mention it give different dates.

What we could not confirm

We could not yet confirm who operates the new weekend sailings. One record names an operator; we will say so once a second record agrees.
