B.C. Ferries’ Coastal Renaissance pulled from service as Hullo records more cancellations
The new Hullo foot-passenger ferry service between downtown Nanaimo and downtown Vancouver took on passengers Thursday as B.C. Ferries announced its Coastal Renaissance had been pulled from service for several weeks due to a problem with a drive motor.
Smaller replacement vessels will be filling in during peak tourist season as the Labour Day weekend approaches. Renaissance can carry 1,604 passengers and crew, as well as 310 vehicles. Each of the two Hullo ferries can carry up to 354 passengers but the company is keeping numbers below that for the next couple of weeks at least as it eases into the new service.
Hullo officially began sailings on Wednesday when its ferries left Nanaimo at 10 a.m. and Vancouver at noon.
