The tides are high but I don't think there are any cruises in and out of Vancouver this time of the year.

I agree with the ship is probably waiting to get into Vancouver Shipyard for dry docking, if it is a smaller ship. With the Canadian dollar being $1.30 for every $1 US, a lot of the cruise ships come to Canada to get refit. Canada has some of the best tradesmen and produces the highest quality work in the world.
Back in the early 2000s and with the Canadian $$ low, there was a mad rush of cruise ships making there way into the Esquimalt Graving Dock in Victoria for hull and interior work.
I was working there as a Project Manger and few people know that the Esq Dry Dock is the largest private sector dry dock on the west coast of the Americas and can fit any ship that can got though the Panama Cannel. Esq also has a 150, 80, 30-ton luff cranes which makes work go faster.
Victoria and Vancouver shipyards are both Seaspan and owned by the Washington group, so they shift work back and forth depending on availability. Now with the Esq mainly being used by the military, a lot of work is now going to Vancouver.

I assume that Ro-Ro is roll on, roll off passenger ship, that is interesting.

Ya funny isn’t it. Everyone up there’s in arms over it, but, most of their forefathers were loggers and miners. They’re living the lifestyle they have today because of our natural resources.
Hopefully it stays in with them unless they need to do a pump out off shore ........ not sure of your point
