Oil leak on Queen of Coquitlam

[tyty]

The sailing scheduled to depart Horseshoe Bay at 7:20 a.m. this morning en route to Langdale left at 8:30 a.m.

The ship was delayed because of a small oil leak. The crew inspected the vessel and determined it was coming from one of the engines. That engine has been shut down.

As a result, the ship is currently one hour and 10 minutes behind schedule.

The Queen of Coquitlam will hold at Langdale until the scheduled 10:20 a.m. sailing. This will allow crew time to repair the engine and get the ship back on schedule.

The 8:20 a.m. sailing from Langdale and the 9:20 a.m. sailing from Horseshoe Bay were cancelled as a result.

With berth one still closed at Langdale, it should be a fun day for the crew.

Maybe they'll reel in a replacement until it's fixed (that is if they don't fix it soon)

It's a bad time for a replacement, unless they brought the Esquimalt out from Swartz Bay, if they absolutely had to. The Vancouver and Bowen Queen are both out for refit.

Yes yes, I know, it would take a while. But if it goes into tommorow, they might have to.

You're forgetting this is the low time of year so you wouldn't need the Bowen Queen and a V Class! Just a V Class

i thought the SOVI was out for refit too?

I know. I never meant for them to run the route together. Just saying, that if they needed a replacement, all of the previous replacements are a little tied up at the moment.
