The ferry and berth suffered minor damage in the Friday evening incident but no one was injured
B.C. Ferries is investigating the cause of a “hard landing” by the Island K’ulut’a, which hit the berth at Quathiaski Cove on Quadra Island early Friday evening.
Two subsequent sailings for the K’ulut’a and four for its partner vessel on the Campbell River-Quadra Island runs, the Island Nagalis, were cancelled.After a full inspection of the ferry and berth, B.C. Ferries determined service could start up again. The Island Nagalis sailed again about 7:30 p.m. and the K’ulut’a was back on the route Saturday.
Each of the doubled-ended, hybrid-electric vessels is 265 feet long and carries 400 passengers and crew.
