“We require a specific number of crew members on board the vessel to ensure the safety of our passengers in the unlikely event of an emergency and to comply with Transport Canada regulations. The decision to cancel a sailing in these circumstances is made when we have exhausted all options to find replacement crew.”
BC Ferries had initially announced the 10 a.m. leaving Tsawwassen and the noon leaving Swartz Bay would be cancelled, but they have been reinstated after a replacement crew member had been sourced. These cancellations come after BC Ferries previously announced it had added 85 sailings on popular routes, including 66 on the Swartz Bay to Tsawwassen route, in order to accommodate higher levels of traffic for the Thanksgiving holiday.The 6 a.m. sailing each day was one of the extra sailings that were added.
