The addition of the Spirit of Vancouver Island to the schedule allowed for three extra sailings, after two morning sailing cancellations
The Spirit of Vancouver Island was pulled back into service a day early Wednesday, after two sailings on the Swartz Bay-Tsawwassen run were cancelled due to crew shortages.
The company said in a statement that the decision to cancel a sailing is only made when it has “exhausted all options” to find replacement crew. No food service was available on the noon sailing Wednesday, with limited food service on the 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. trips. B.C. United Leader Kevin Falcon told reporters at the legislature Wednesday that people were waiting up to seven sailings for a ferry.
Under a service contract coming into effect in April between the province and B.C. Ferries, the latter faces a fine of $7,000 if a sailing on a major route is cancelled due to a staff shortage, and a $1,000 fine on certain minor routes.Details of how those penalties might be applied will be released in the spring, the province said.
