Not just the ' New Westminster, apparently. I'm assuming the problem is pipes running on open car decks. I guess BC Ferries will have to embark on an insulation project... this should not be happening on a major transportation system.

What are the differences between Queen of Nanaimo and Queen of New Westminster? Is the extra car layer the only difference? I have never been on the Queen of New Westminster so I do not know.

There are others that can add more insight here. The Nanaimo and the Burnaby were not raised. The New Westmisnter's extra car deck also had more clearance than any of her sisters to accommodate taller vehicles.

As built, the QoNWM was identical to the Nanaimo & Burnaby (together known as the 'B' class), and all but identical to the 'V' class ( Victoria, Vancouver, Saanich & Esquimalt). All seven were known as the 'Seven Sisters'. Over the years there were various changes that made each one a little different than its sisters. An example would be the engines that powered each one.

Decrepitude plain & simple. "When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not...hmmm?" It's beyond me why he decided here was a good place to complain about what amounts to her appearance. I mean really, even if you take away her awesome history does she not perform all the tasks her fleetmates do? Like from a customer's standpoint, not a ferry fan. Gets you from a-b, provides you with a place to sit and a place to eat. Just because she's old doesn't mean she's inherently wretched or whatever he tried to say. In fact, as another user mentioned, it gives her character and class that none of the recent builds do. She instills me with a sense of pride, seeing her continue to do her duties this many years later.

I said it before will say it again. As built, and after stretching, all seven ships were known as the Victoria class. The V and B class designations came about when the Victoria, Vancouver, Saanich & Esquimalt were lifted.

When I was a kid they were all simply "The Seven Sisters". I have known those vessels since the first ones entered service in 1962. Furthermore if the Alberni is a 'C' class, then there is/was no reason to consider the 'B's as a separate class from the 'V's.

When I was a kid in the 1970s, "Stretch" class , or stretch ferries was a common term used..... but, the name given to this class of ships by BC Ferries was the Victoria class, following the tradition of naming the class after the first launched in the group. Suppose all seven could have kept the class designetion, but it was BCF's decision to make two classes out of the group in the 1980s, and break with the naming tradition by designating the unlifted group the "B"s after the last built, leaving the "N" designation for the Nicola class.

I’m on the New West right now and they’re running a bit behind and trying to make up time and my watch says that we’re doing 21 - 22 knots, does the New West usually go this fast to make up time? I didn’t think they went above 20 knots (my watch could just be inaccurate however)…

Queen of New Westminster, heading for Tsawwassen, is coming through the narrows at the north end of Active Pass between Mayne & Galiano Islands.

I didn’t think they went above 20 knots (my watch could just be inaccurate however)… The NW must have been going that fast again today. Looking at the departure and arrival times from SWB on route 1, the New Westminster did the crossing in 80 and 78 minutes respectively.

Queen new Westminster I was supposed to go in for a major refill this October and won’t really be returning until next year. According to the captain of the new Westminster. Her life will be extended between 2028-2030.

She is expected to be the second vessel to be replaced (after the Alberni) by the "New Major Vessel" Class of Ships, which are still in the design phase.

BC Ferries now classified Queen of New Westminster as V-Class vessel now.
