BC Ferries cancels more Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay and Bowen Island sailings
For the third day in a row, there are more BC Ferries cancellations on the Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay route. And BC Ferries has cancelled all sailings again today to and from Bowen Island. The company says the floating berth at Snug Cove has moved, preventing the safe operation of the vehicle ramp.

All BC Ferries sailings between Bowen Island and the mainland are cancelled Tuesday and Wednesday.

The organization said that due to a mechanical difficulty with the berth at Snug Cove on the island, all sailings between Horseshoe Bay and Snug Cove cannot operate as normal.

BC Ferries said it is providing two complimentary 12-passenger water taxis to provide service but no vehicles can travel on those vessels.

A 38-passenger water taxi will also operate between Horseshoe Bay and Bowen Island from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday and from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. on Wednesday morning and then again from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Water taxis will depart from the Government dock adjacent to the Horseshoe Bay terminal.
