Several sailings were cancelled Thursday after the Coastal Renaissance was pulled out of service. The smaller Queen of Alberni has replaced it on the Duke Point-Tsawwassen route.
B.C. Ferries is again dealing with mechanical problems on one its ships, pulling the Coastal Renaissance out of service for repairs that are likely to take “weeks, not days,” says its chief executive.
Efforts were being made to juggle resources to accommodate the demands of the Duke Point-Tsawwassen route, he said. “We’re obviously going to work with customers to the extent that we will be able to find them places on other sailings, but we know that that will not be possible for everybody,” Jimenez said.
B.C. Ferries operates 37 vessels on 25 routes, so problems affecting the operation will come up at times, he said. The lingering concerns that were created drew considerable attention from B.C. Ferries in advance of the B.C. Day long weekend, and travel since then had been going well.
