Island K'ULUT'A is now start of trial routes from Campbell river to Quathiaski Cove from Monday to Friday expect holiday. I believe started last Thursday until December 20, then two boat service starts on January 1 according to the website. Rotating various crews through 5-6 day training regimens. Some training days include running Q. Cove to Campbell River with or without passenger loads while other days will be spent alongside the layby berth or performing other maneuvers. First day on the run will not be January 1st but the last day of scheduled training is December 20th. Exact training dates are based on crew availability (PRQ still needs to stay staffed) rather than a M-F schedule.

Just to keep the historical record straight, as the above two posts don't exactly summarize it well, Island K'ulut'a was officially scheduled to take over service on route 23 as of the 7:00pm sailing from Quathiaski Cove. Due to the breakdown of Powell River Queen a couple hours before the changeover was scheduled to occur, I'm not certain whether it got into service earlier than 7:00pm.

Island K’ulut'a started service around 5:25 pm from Campbell River which was delayed. www.bcferries.com/current-conditions/service-notices?serviceNoticeCode=8800713584392&subscriptionRoute=CAM-QDR

Actually it was supposed to be the Nagalis at 1900 tonight with the K'ulut'a starting tomorrow but the Powell River Queen decided to have the last laugh...

The mechanical problem with the end car stopper on the Island K'ulut'a has successfully been resolved.
This was part of a service notice this morning. Never heard of this before. What is an 'end car stopper'?

What is an 'end car stopper'? A car stopper is a modern term for the steel barrier that folds up vertically at either end of the car deck, preventing cars from rolling off the deck. The Salish have this as well, but just slightly inside of the visor. Older vessels such as the Skeena, Quinsam, or QQ2 have/had something similar to this. It's typically called a bow gate there

Sounds like a small thing but functional car stoppers are actually a requirement for continued sailings on the Island Class. "Car blocks", the orange things chocking tires onboard are also good to have...
