A passenger required immediate medical attention and the vessel had to return to Tsawwassen to allow immediate medical treatment ashore. This resulted in the 6 a.m. sailing of the ferry from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay being delayed and pushed the 10 a.m. sailing 73 minutes behind schedule. The 12 p.m. departure from Swartz Bay, the 2 p.m. departure from Tsawwassen, and the 4 p.m. departure from Swartz Bay were also delayed, Travellers were advised to check the BC Ferries website for updates.
Propulsion repairs completed
BC Ferries returned the 'Queen of New Westminster' back in its operational fleet on March 14, 2025,, just in time for the spring peak travel season. The vessel, which servestheroute between Tsawwassen and Swartz Bay, had been out of service for nearly 200 days due to extensive repairs and scheduled maintenance. It had been pulled from service in September after experiencing a significant failure in its propulsion system, where structural fatigue caused the propeller shaft to detach. The extensive repairs included the replacement of both propeller shafts on the vessel, additional rudder system fixes, hull repairs and protective coating applications, totaling to $5.5 million in addition to the scheduled refit expenses, resulted in roughly $8.5 million in lost revenue from the ship being out of service.
