Service notice - Sailing Delay

Posted:   Sunday, May 24, 2026

Updated: 10:51pm

Our 8:30 pm sailing on the Horseshoe Bay (Vancouver) – Departure Bay (Nanaimo) route departed 71 minutes behind schedule from Departure Bay due to an earlier mechanical issue, which has since been repaired.

We expect the 10:40 pm departing Horseshoe Bay sailing to also be delayed. Please check Current Conditions if you are looking to travel with us this evening.

We know you have important places to be. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience you may experience as a result of this delay.

For up-to-date sailing and departure information, check Current Conditions, follow @BCFerries on X, or phone 1-888-223-3779 for further assistance.
