That's you Shane and Curtis:
5:30 pm Update
The Queen of Burnaby is experiencing a mechanical problem and is currently tied up at Westview.
The 5:15 pm sailing exit Westview and the 7:15 pm sailing exit Little River are cancelled.
Our engineers are working diligently to rectify the problem in an effort to sail the ship from Westview at 8:45 pm.
A further update will be provided when more information is available.
How does the North Island Princess getting thorugh to traffic in Powell River? Are sailings cancelled there, too?

they must have an extra tie-up only berth there. No, there's no extra tie-up at Westview, unless they have tied the Burnie to the side of the Gov't pier. Good question about how this affects the NIP's use of the Westview berth. |

Well, I just looked out my front window and the Burnaby is just drifting around out in front of Powell River.
I live in town and Curtis live's just out of town so I have sortof a clear view of whats going on.
I'll keep an eye on whats going on out there this evening.

Therefore, due to docking conflicts, has been suspended on the Powell River - Texada Island route.
The following sailings on the Texada Island - Powell River route are cancelled:
6:15 pm and 7:40 pm exit Texada Island
6:55 pm and 9:10 pm exit Westview
Service on this route will resume at 10:10 pm exit Texada Island and 11:00 pm exit Westview.
BC Ferries regrets any inconvenience this may cause. News Flash!! Queen of Burnaby will resume Service with the 8:45 Sailing from Powell River. I wonder what went wrong?
The Queen of Burnaby will sail from Westview to Little River at 8:45 pm this evening.
BC Ferries thanks customers for their patience today. |
