Cancellations due to crew shortage

A staff shortage on the 'Queen of Coquitlam' resulted in the cancellation of the 5:25 p.m. departure from Departure Bay in Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver and the cancellation of the Horseshoe Bay-Departure Bay sailing at 7:30 p.m. on May 29, 2022. The route was alredy affected earlier in the day by a shortage of staff. B.C. Ferries put out a notice on social media saying the 11:15 a.m. Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay sailing would be late because of a crew shortage. A replacement worker was found and the ferry was close to an hour late leaving Nanaimo. Baggage service was suspended on the Horseshoe Bay-Departure Bay route earlier Sunday because of a crew shortage.

Ferry sidelined due to technical trouble

The BC Ferry schedule has been altered for June 25 and 26, 2019, after the "Queen of Coquitlam" encountered a mechanical problem and had to be taken out of service. Until she is back in service, the "Queen of Surrey" will operate on a modified schedule. There would not be any change to the morning sailings because the "Queen of Surrey" services those anyway, it’s just the afternoon sailings that will be affected. It was hoped to have business as usual for the "Queen of Coquitlam" by Juen 27.

Truck on ferry spilled diesel

A semi-truck which was loaded onto the "Queen of Coquitlam" at Horseshoe Bay on Jan 30, 2019, for the 9.45 a.m. sailing to Langdale has spilled diesel. It was unclear how much fuel was spilled or if the fuel had reached the water. As a result, the ferry was kept docked and the sailing was delayed. B.C. Ferries later also cancelled the 10:50 a.m. departure from Langdale and the 11:55 a.m. departure from Horseshoe Bay in an attempt to get the "Queen of Coquitlam" back on schedule. The ship was scheduled to depart Horseshoe Bay at 11:30 a.m.
