A police incident on board a B.C. Ferries vessel at Horseshoe Bay terminal disrupted multiple sailings on Sunday.<\/p>\n
B.C. Ferries says police and emergency services were called to the terminal shortly after 12 p.m. PT due to an incident on the Queen of Surrey while it was docked.<\/p>\n
Emergency responders have asked that no vessels arrive or depart while the situation is being managed, the ferry operator said.<\/p>\n
In a social media post, the West Vancouver Police Department also confirmed officers are at the terminal \u201cto provide assistance to a member of the public,\u201d asking people to avoid the area.<\/p>\n
The disruption is affecting several routes, including sailings between Horseshoe Bay and Nanaimo, Bowen Island and the Sunshine Coast.<\/p>\n
Service notices show the 10:55 a.m. sailing from Nanaimo was being held away from the dock, delaying arrival and offloading, while the 1:25 p.m. departure from Horseshoe Bay was also delayed as a result.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sailings to Bowen Island and Langdale are also being held in dock, including the 11:55 a.m. and 12:10 p.m. departures.<\/p>\n
West Vancouver Police are currently on scene at the ferry terminal in Horseshoe Bay to provide assistance to a member of the public. We ask everyone to avoid the area and follow police direction.
