“We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience you may experience as a result of this delay,” the service notice read. “We wish our fellow passenger a speedy recovery.”
B.C. Ferries was asking that customers with reservations check in at the terminal in accordance with their scheduled sailing time.
The other vessel servicing the Nanaimo-West Vancouver route, the Coastal Renaissance, is operating on time.
