On Tuesday, BC Ferries CEO Nicolas Jimenez said despite a major vessel being out of service, he’s confident sailing will be smooth.

More than 520,000 passengers and 200,000 vehicles are expected to use BC Ferries over the long weekend.

The Coastal Renaissance has been out of service for engine repairs since mid-August and is due to return in mid-October.
