COASTAL RENAISSANCE DOCKS IN NANAIMO

COASTAL RENAISSANCE
AT HER NEW NANAIMO HOME


Coastal Renaissance, the first of three new Super C-class vessels built for BC Ferries, arrived in Nanaimo yesterday afternoon after a 48-day, 9,990 nautical mile journey from Germany.

After final inspections are completed, the ship will be officially handed over to BC Ferries. In the coming months, crews will be trained and familiarized in the operation of this brand new state-of-the-art ship, the largest double-ended ferry in the world. Coastal Renaissance will enter service on the Departure BayHorseshoe Bay route in March 2008.

Public open houses are being scheduled in Vancouver, Nanaimo and Victoria for late January and early February 2008 to give all members of the public a preview of BC Ferries’ newest ship. Details about the public open houses will be issued shortly.
