Ferry customers on south and central Vancouver Island are experiencing some delays this morning with ticketing problems at the Swartz Bay terminal and a mechanical issue with a vessel on the Duke Point-Tsawwassen run.

Technical problems at the Swartz Bay terminal are delaying ticket sales at both the vehicle and foot passenger booths for Salt Spring Island, the Southern Gulf Islands and Tsawwassen, according to B.C. Ferries.

The ferry corporation says its IT department is investigating.

Meanwhile, the Queen of Alberni on the Duke Point-Tsawwassen run is an hour behind schedule due to a mechanical issue. Engineers are working to repair the problem.
