OUT WITH THE OLD

摘要

Following the completion of onboard crew training, B.C. Ferries' new M/V Coastal Renaissance will enter service this month in British Columbia on the Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay route. What's significant about the Coastal Renaissance is that it is the first of three Roll-On/Roll-Off double end ferries—believed to be the largest of their type in the world —being built by Germany's Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellshaft. The three ROPAX ferries, the second of which — the Coastal Inspiration—was en route to B.C. Ferries as we went to press, represent a big investment for the ferry operator.
