The 3 p.m. Spirit of British Columbia sailing from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay on Wednesday, Oct. 8, was forced to turn back to Vancouver after a customer required medical attention.
As a result, the 5 p.m. ferry from Victoria to Vancouver has been delayed by an hour and 12 minutes and is currently listed as full. The 7 p.m. sailing from Swartz Bay is also full, while the 9 p.m. trip in the same direction had only 15 per cent of its estimated vehicle space available at 4:30 p.m. and is expected to experience delays.
BC Ferries is advising travellers to check current conditions for the most up-to-date information.
“We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience you may experience as a result of this delay,” BC Ferries said in a notification.
Sailings from Vancouver to Victoria are currently listed as unaffected by the delay.
