B.C. Ferries vessel had to be assisted into Horseshoe Bay in North Vancouver by a tugboat.

The problem with the Queen of Coquitlam ’s pitch control has been repaired and testing was conducted before a possible return to service.

Two round trip sailings of the ferry between Langdale on the Sunshine Coast and Horsesoe Bay were cancelled.

The company hired three water taxis to shuttle travellers who were booked on other sailings.
