BC Ferries says two sailings between Victoria and Vancouver are no longer at risk of cancellation on Wednesday.

Around 10 a.m., BC Ferries said the 4 p.m. sailing departing from Swartz Bay and the 6 p.m. sailing departing from Tsawwasseen were at risk of cancellation due to staffing issues.

Then, just after 1 p.m., the ferry operator said enough crew had been secured to operate the sailings as usual.

"We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced as a result of these potential cancellations," said BC Ferries.

Wednesday marked a busy day for BC Ferries operations.

Two sailings between Campbell River and Quadra Island were cancelled to accommodate paramedics who were transporting a patient.

The 8:25 a.m. sailing from Horseshoe Bay heading towards Departure Bay was also delayed by about an hour because of an engine issue on the Queen of Cowichan ferry on Wednesday morning.
