Due to a mechanical issue with the propulsion system on the Island Discovery, we have cancelled previously scheduled sailings on our Blubber Bay (Texada Island) – Westview (Powell River) route until Thursday, April 9, 2026. To keep the Texada Island community connected, the Salish Orca will operate on a modified schedule Comox (Little River) – Texada Island (Blubber Bay) – Powell River (Westview) and accommodate vehicles and passengers through Blubber Bay on the following schedule.

Here in everything is water & we rely on ferries land: the Powell River–Texada ferry broke down, and so we’ve got a temporary triangle route with Comox, Texada & PR: www.bcferries.com/current-cond... #bcferries

in fairness, the headline is a little misleading. The 3rd vessel has been out of the loop for nearly a month as it is docked for its annual refit. It's not scheduled to return until May, so it was never expected to be available for this […]

It is a loan to replace ships that are at the end of life and for which no Canadian yard bid. They R building vessels for the Navy and Coast Guard.
