VICTORIA (NEWS 1130) — A BC Ferry is out of service after a mechanical issue and sailings between Tsawwassen and Duke Point have been severely impacted.

“We’ll definitely continue to have one vessel on the run, but it might just be you know 50 per cent of the normal payments that we would normally have.”
At least six sailings Sunday are being impacted.
Sailings include:
- 10:15 a.m. departing Tsawwassen
- 12:45 p.m. departing Duke Point
- 3:15 p.m. departing Tsawwassen
- 5:45 p.m. departing Duke Point
- 8:15 p.m. departing Tsawwassen
- 10:45 p.m. departing Duke Point
If you’re planning a trip between Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland, Marshall is suggesting you consider using Swartz Bay to Tsawwassen and Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay ferry over the next few days.
