A total of 189 passengers were on the first ferry departing Nanaimo on Wednesday morning.
The first sailing of the new Hullo ferry left Wednesday morning as planned at 10 a.m. after a two-day delay in launching the Nanaimo-Vancouver walk-on service.
A total of 189 passengers were on the first ferry departing Nanaimo. The two boats each have a capacity of 354. The company is deliberately keeping numbers low as it rolls out the service. A widespread power outage in Nanaimo and strong winds kept the company’s two catamarans in dock on Monday, the original starting date for 70-minute foot passenger service between the two cities.The company revised its plans, introducing a new schedule for the coming two weeks. Nanaimo will see departures at 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. daily, while ferries will depart Vancouver at noon and 6:30 p.m.“We were all disappointed. This is not the way we wanted the ferry service to start,” he said.
