How do you know they haven't? I think you're making some broad assumptions which may or may not be true. If you have some evidence that WSF hasn't updated their safety equipment over the years, then please present it. Don't just make a general comment that WSF hasn't updated their safety systems, or that they don't change and/or upgrade their vessels over the years, as you stated earlier. Look at Cowichan, Spirit Class and Queen of New Westminster they went from one safety system to completely different one? I am not saying they don’t. Safety equipment has a lot to do with the regulatory environment and operating conditions where the ships are. I think you’re making too broad of a comparison where a lot of different external factors are at play - completely different regulations, jurisdictions, and operating environments. There’s a lot more to on board safety systems than what the public sees, it’s what’s under the hood that counts.

I believe the "why doesn't" implies you think they haven't. If it ain't broke (and is still in compliance with regulations, of course), I don't see the need for overhauls like that here.

I agree with everyone but I think was asking in an odd way if escape system of vessel will be moved to main passenger deck like on the Olympic Class vessels? I am asking because it seems like change in rules for WSF.

I am asking because it seems like change in rules for WSF. OK, that makes more sense, and is definitely more specific. New boats going forward will likely have the MES on the passenger cabin level as they are on the Olympics. I seriously doubt any of the older vessels will be retrofitted to move the MES up from the car deck unless it is mandated by changing regulations.
