NANAIMO — A staffing issue is causing major disruption to ferry service between Gabriola Island and Vancouver Island.
BC Ferries said the MV Quinsam will be operating on a modified schedule until further notice, with early morning and evening sailings replaced.
A specific number of crew members need to be on board in order to comply with Transport Canada regulations and ensure the safe delivery of passengers.
A ten-passenger only water taxi will run early morning and evening sailings for those who need to travel. Tickets can be purchased at the Nanaimo Harbour ticket booth.
