Well, it didn鈥檛 take long for a breakdown to disrupt service offered by the Campbell River to Quadra Island route鈥檚 brand new ferries.
Due to a mechanical issue with the ship鈥檚 thruster, the rest of the day鈥檚 sailings between Campbell River and Quathiaski Cove (Quadra Island) on the newly-commissioned Island Nagalis were cancelled around 10:20 a.m. today, Thursday Jan. 26. The Island Nagalis officially began service on this route on Wednesday, Jan. 18 along with its sister ship, the Island K鈥檜lut鈥檃.
The Island K鈥檜lut鈥檃 actually was pressed into service a day early due to the retirement of the 58-year-old Powell River Queen breaking down on virtually its last run before being decommissioned.

Service between Quathiaski Cove and Campbell River remains available on the Island K鈥檜lut鈥檃 for the remainder of the day today, Jan. 26. The Island K鈥檜lut鈥檃 will continue to sail on an irregular schedule until built-up vehicle traffic has been alleviated. More information and a revised schedule can be found in this BC Ferries .
