Nanaimo Harbour ferry terminal, or more commonly "Gabriola Island Ferry", is a ferry terminal owned and operated by BC Ferries in British Columbia that goes from downtown Nanaimo across the Northumberland Channel to Descanso Bay on Gabriola Island. The route is serviced by the MV Quinsam, which can hold up to 70 cars with a total travel time of about 20 to 25 minutes.[1]
At the Nanaimo terminal, on 20 March 2013 at about 2:20 am, a woman from Gabriola Island drove her van through a barrier gate, onto the docked BC Ferries' ship, and off the other side. The next day, an RCMP dive team were able to recover her body and the van from 40 metres of water.[2]
