UPDATE – 4:02 p.m.
Due to a malfunction in the sea water cooling system, the Queen of New Westminster is once again out of commission and not sailing, according to BC Ferries.
This is a different issue than the one that knocked out the ferry earlier in the day.
The 4 p.m. sailing from Tsawwassen, and the 6 p.m. from Swartz Bay are both cancelled, and it appears the Queen of New Westminster will not be sailing again on Friday.
