This topic is mainly about the Car Capacity of the Super Cs the Vs and Cs the capacity make no difference to the aging C's on the Horseshoe Bay Routes and the Vs on Tsawwassen Swartz Bay like the capacity of the C's 362 somewhere it said 330 and the capacity of the V's 376 and the Super C's capacity 370 difference to the C's capacity 8 vehicle increse or 40? the V's 6 vheicle decrese slighty smaller will the Super Cs be the carrying answer or a overload disaster who knows.

With the Platform decks, the V class carry 376 cars, and they never use the platform decks on the V's, so their capacity is like 330 cars, so there is a good enough increase. It looks like there will be more passenger deck space as well after looking at the artist's rendering of the ship. I think they will make a difference. my only concern is the ability to transit the Active Pass.

Strange why the Vs don't use them when their unlifted sisters Nanaimo, and Burnaby do(and Tsawwassen as well)

Hey PR-Queen-16, "Punctuation is your friend.....use it please".
Surely the English teachers at Max Cameron or Brooks could help out.
Break those phrases into individual sentences. This makes it much easier to grasp the point of your post.
Thankyouverymuch

Gallery Decks (as thier called) are a way to increse car space, but decrease Truck Space, Hence why Alberni doesn't use them. There is a thought that the Quinsam (Nanaimo - Gabriola) could use them to increase Car space, while still keeping an efficent ship on the route(and saving 5 - 10 million on a new ship)

I think the super C's might manoever better on HB-DB because they are supposed to be double ended, right? If not I guess they will be better suited for route 1. Does anyone know how manoeverable these ships are supposed to be?

Flensburg shipyard is doing simulations of going through active pass and they say they will be very very manoeverable. They are to be on route 1 with one on route 2.
