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.
