The company was also forced to revise its afternoon and evening schedule between Horseshoe Bay and Langdale on the Sunshine Coast due to cancellations earlier in the day.

BC Ferries warned ongoing stormy weather could affect sailings between Horseshoe Bay and Nanaimo again Tuesday.

The company said all sailings between the two terminals between 6:15 a.m. and 1 p.m. on both the Queen of Oak Bay and the Queen of Cowichan could be cancelled if adverse weather conditions continued.
