BC Ferries vessel delayed after snagging on prawn trap line

Incident puts Mill Bay run almost an hour behind schedule Saturday

The ferry that runs between Brentwood Bay and Mill Bay was delayed Saturday morning after getting snagged on a prawn trap line.

BC Ferries vessel MV Klitsa was held up around 10:30 a.m. for nearly an hour while crews worked to remove the line.

The vessel returned to service after being inspected and cleared to sail.

BC Ferries reminds those setting traps or lines to drop them well outside the ferry traffic routes.
