Four daily round-trips between Swartz Bay and Tsawwassen will be cancelled until the ferry returns to service, likely at the end of next week
An extra round trip for the Spirit of Vancouver Island will be scheduled on Thursday, Friday and Sunday at 11 p.m., allowing for a return trip at 1 a.m. Those sailings can be booked as of Thursday afternoon.
B.C. Ferries urged customers without bookings on the Swartz Bay to Tsawwassen route to consider travelling as foot passengers, since the amount of space for standby vehicles will be reduced while the Coastal Celebration is out for repairs. Some sailings were also cancelled on Tuesday. Before that, the vessel was out of service during the busy Canada Day long weekend, when its annual refit stretched past the original completion date.Crews members reported a suspected leak of hydraulic oil, a light mineral oil, early this week. It was confirmed after an underwater dive team investigated, said Stephen Jones, executive director of engineering for B.C. Ferries.
B.C. Ferries is not yet able to confirm that the leak is related to the refit, but Jones said he expects that will be determined during repairs.
