Travellers can also travel through Swartz Bay to the Southern Gulf Islands but should leave extra time for their journey.
BC Ferries will be offering complimentary reservations on the Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay route, for customers who were scheduled on the Queen of Nanaimo on Friday.
The Queen of Nanaimo remains at the Tsawwassen Terminal and a specialized technician will be on site to determine the exact cause of the mechanical issue.
