Overview
- BC Ferries says the Queen of Surrey suffered a main engine turbocharger issue that led to multiple Horseshoe Bay–Langdale cancellations on Sunday.
- Repairs continue with the vessel still out of service Monday, and the operator warns further schedule changes remain possible.
- To maintain Sunshine Coast service, the Queen of Oak Bay was moved off its usual route, causing four Departure Bay–Horseshoe Bay cancellations on Monday: 6:15 a.m., 2:45 p.m., 7:25 p.m., and 10:40 p.m.
- Mitigation includes two supplemental Sunday sailings plus four complimentary water taxis shuttling passengers between Horseshoe Bay and Langdale.
- BC Ferries is contacting booked customers to rebook or refund fares, as some travelers reported short-notice alerts and added costs.
