I watched Chek News at 6 this evening and they reported that Deborah Marshall quietly retired last week after almost 28 years with BC Ferries. I couldn't find an article covering the story but here's a link below for the 6pm newscast where you just need to forward to the 11:50 mark.

I absolutely get why they're doing this. Whether you're a person who's had a bike stolen or a public transportation company with vessels worth hundreds of millions of dollars, putting in an insurance claim can put your premiums up so much that the so-called coverage is hardly worth it... and then, yes, there is the deductible. Insurance is a scam these days.

Maybe BC Ferries is not giving us the whole truth here. Consider the following quote from the thread "Observations on FSG built vessels in the BC ferry fleet": I’m going way back here probably to 2007 or earlier when the coastal were being built and remember some discussion from B.C. Ferries and them making the decision of not installing VFD’S (variable frequency drives) on the drive motors. I see that they have finally seen the ramifications of not spending that money during construction as I can almost garrentee the pre mature wear of the drive motor rotors would not have occurred if the vfd had been installed. From one of the news articles I read they said they are getting installed during these refits which will give the drive motors speed control and soft starting ability which I’m sure could also translate into fuel savings.

Hasn’t this been happening for over a year now? I had my dog on the outside deck of the Surrey on route 3 about a month ago but have noticed the signs for quite some time prior to that.
