The MV Island Sky will be replaced by the Bowen Queen on the Earls Cove – Saltery Bay route mid-day on Oct. 14 through late November. The regular schedule will remain in effect on this Northern Sunshine Coast route.
The Queen of Burnaby will proceed to drydock on Oct. 15 for several days to repair a propeller hub. Once the repairs are complete, the Queen of Burnaby will replace the Queen of Nanaimo on the Tsawwassen – Southern Gulf Islands route on Oct. 19 to accommodate the Queen of Nanaimo’s refit.
