Incidents and accidents[edit]
On 26 March 2019, the Queen of Surrey smashed into a dock with 285 passengers on board at around 08:10. As a result, passengers were stuck on board the vessel for eleven hours. At 17:15, BC Ferries received permission from Transport Canada to use a Seaspan tugboat to free the vessel from the dock, and at 18:15, passengers were allowed to disembark. BC Ferries reported that no spills and no injuries ensued from this incident.[5]
Notes[edit]
- ^ Figures obtained for 2022 & 2023 from adding the passengers counted at Langdale from the routes 1 and 13 in each month of the calendar year.[2] The figures under "Total Prev Year" are not used because those denote fiscal years instead of calendar years. The total passenger count at Langdale for 2022 was 1 309 642.
