Elevators on the Queen of Cowichan were temporarily out of service on Monday, impacting some travellers with mobility issues.
BC Ferries said in a notice Monday morning that on that vessel, all elevators were down between the vehicle decks and passenger decks, where washrooms, the Coastal Café and passenger seating are located.
Those areas was limited to stairs only, according to the organization.
The Queen of Cowichan sails between Departure Bay (Nanaimo) and Horseshoe Bay (Vancouver).
BC Ferries said portable washrooms would be available to passengers on the main vehicle deck and travellers would have to stay there they cannot use the stairs. Anyone travelling in vehicles who required elevator access would be given an option to sail at a later time, it added.
An elevator technician was called out to fix the elevators and the matter was resolved by around 1 p.m.
