The BC Ferries vessel, the Coastal Celebration, is once again out of commission.
The organization announced Wednesday that as of 2 p.m. all sailings on the vessel are suspended until repairs can be completed in dry dock.
BC Ferries said the vessel will go into dry dock on Monday and will hopefully be able to return to service late next week.
As a result, there will now be eight fewer sailings per day between Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay route, beginning July 20.
Any reservations on the vessel on July 19 will be accommodated on alternate sailings, BC Ferries said.
The Coastal Celebration has been experiencing issues over the past few weeks.
Two sailings were cancelled on Monday, less than two weeks after the BC Ferries vessel returned to service after repairs.
BC Ferries said the issue affecting the vessel is an ineffective blade seal.
