Dry dock photos. Seems like they're doing some metal work on the front section of the hull. And some paint along the sides seems like it was sandblasted off for inspection.

Not BC Ferries..

Quote:
We unfortunately had to cancel select sailings March 14 & 16 because of an unexpected crew shortage. Since Hullo launched six months ago, the demand for our services has rapidly grown. We’re actively recruiting additional skilled crew members to meet this growing demand and minimize future disruptions. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and we’ll be back to our full sailing schedule Sunday.

As a result, the above sailings have been cancelled, and we have automatically transferred your booking to an alternative sailing. We’ve made every effort to maintain your original seat selection, but we apologize if this was not possible in some cases.

BCF's unionized though - less chance of a new hire being pressured into unsafe stunts and/or getting laid off at the end of the season.

True, but part of their problem hiring employees is they want you to be available 24x7 to start but won't guarantee any hours.

Sthuqi was sailing at 30kts the last two days for some reason. Adds around 20 minutes to each trip. It was at max speed last week..
