All ferry sailings between Bowen Island and Horseshoe Bay have been cancelled on Tuesday and Wednesday.
A BC Ferries notice on Tuesday morning originally explained that due to a mechanical issue with the Snug Cove Ferry Terminal the earliest sailing of the day could be the 3:30 pm departure from Bowen. The notice was updated later in the morning to say all sailings on Tuesday, February 4 and Wednesday, February 5 would instead be cancelled.
A walkway at the terminal ramp on the island could be seen fallen into the water on Tuesday morning.
A pair of 12-person water taxis will be available during the cancellations for passenger service only. They will follow the regular ferry schedule.
Between 3 and 6 pm on Tuesday, and 5 to 8 am and 3 to 6 pm on Wednesday, a 38-person water taxi will also be making sailings on a shuttle schedule. The afternoon runs will leave starting from Horseshoe Bay, and the morning run leaving from Snug Cove.
All water taxis can be found at the end of Snug Cove Dock (located to the right of the Ferry Terminal).
