NEW FERRIES CAUSE DAMAGE TO HOUSES ?

SUPER C CLASS FERRIES SHAKE THINGS UP?

It is reported in the local media that the new Super C Class ferries operating out of Nanaimo have some are residents 'all shook up'.

A combination of exhaust noise and propeller vibrations are said to be moving pictures on the walls, rattling windows and even possibility causing cracks in windows and foundations.

Residents on White Eagle Terrace overlooking the ferry terminal are the people most concerned with the problems which never happened with the old ferries but just started when the new Super C Class ferry Coastal Renaissance came into service.

BC Ferries is trying to solve the problems but to date residents are still not satisfied with the result. BC Ferry Corp. has hired a structural engineer to evaluate residents concerns over structural damage to windows and foundations.
