Large commercial truck becomes stuck on BC Ferries ramp cancelling sailings

BC Ferries vessel, Queen of Cumberland, was out of commission for multiple sailings Thursday due to a vehicle being stuck on the ramp.

BC Ferries said a large commercial vehicle became stuck on the ramp at Earls Cove north of Sechelt, preventing staff from loading the vessel.

The organization said tidal conditions need to improve before the large vehicle can be removed and service can resume.

In the meantime, the following sailings were cancelled:

• 9:25 a.m. departing Saltery Bay (Powell River)
• 10:25 a.m. departing Earls Cove (Sechelt)
• 11:20 a.m. departing Saltery Bay (Powell River)
• 12:25 p.m. departing Earls Cove (Sechelt)
