A Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) investigation into a BC Ferries vessel hitting a docked boat at Snug Cove on Bowen Island has revealed more details about what happened. A video taken on Feb. 2 around 7:30 a.m. shows the Queen of Capilano vessel departing from Bowen Island and colliding with a moored boat at the Bowen Island Marina shortly after setting sail. The boat subsequently slammed into the dock, causing significant damage to the structure. The ferry was taken out of service later in the morning and held at Horseshoe Bay until the evening. In an email on Feb. 20, a TSB spokesperson said the incident has been classified as a “class 5 occurrence.”
