An engine problem on the Queen of New Westminster prompted cancellation of seven ferry sailings between Swartz Bay and Tsawwassen on Tuesday.
After offloading passengers on the 6 a.m. sailing from Tsawwassen in Swartz Bay, the vessel travelled back to Tsawwassen without passengers to investigate the problem and begin repairs on the 60-year-old ferry.
Two additional sailings were added: a 6 p.m. sailing out of Swartz Bay and 8 p.m. leaving Tsawwassen.
Sailings cancelled include:
8 a.m. departing Swartz Bay
10 a.m. departing Tsawwassen
12 p.m. departing Swartz Bay
2 p.m. departing Tsawwassen
4 p.m. departing Swartz Bay
6 p.m. departing Tsawwassen
8 p.m. departing Swartz Bay
Other sailings on this route were expected to proceed as planned.
小蓝视频 Ferries said anyone booked on a cancelled sailing will be contacted by its customer service centre for alternate sailings or refunds.
