Queen of New Westminster - annual refit

[Mike C]

Modified Schedule November 1 - December 6[/i][/size]

Posted October 23, 2006


Customers travelling on the Tsawwassen – Duke Point route are advised that a modified schedule will be in effect from Wednesday November 1 through Wednesday, December 6 while the regular vessel the Queen of New Westminster is removed from service for annual refit.


For this five week period, the Queen of Vancouver will be the temporary replacement vessel. Because the Queen of Vancouver operates at a slower speed, with a crossing time of approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes, a modified schedule is in effect.


The modified schedule provides the same total of 8 round trip sailings on week days but leaves earlier in the morning and ends later in the day:

Looks like the Queen of Coquitlam will take the Alberni over on Nov.15.

Are they beautifying her?

[Queen of Nanaimo Teen]

"Are they beautifying her?"
You must mean: Are the RUINING her!

[Dane]

LOL! I stand by my statement

[Ferryman]

No, this is annual maintenance. Her beautification isn't until next fall, according to Hahn in the AGM that Graham recorded.

[Koastal Karl]

The Alberni is going in for mid life but not the New West if you were talking about the New West.

[Curtis]

I guess the drydock is too busy this year and they have to refit the New West next year.

There's also the tiny little detail of capital ($), and the ammount of it that they're putting into the 'Alberni this year.
