M/V ''Northern Expedition'' is a RORO ferry operated by BC Ferries in British Columbia, Canada. She sails daily on the Inside Passage route connecting Prince Rupert and Port Hardy. ==History== On August 18, 2006 BC Ferries awarded the contract to build a replacement vessel for ''Queen of Prince Rupert'' to Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft shipyard in Flensburg, Germany (the same shipyard awarded the contract for the 3 new Coastal class ferries).〔 Shortly thereafter it was determined that the new ship would be named ''Northern Expedition'' and that BC Ferries' other northern vessel (the recently purchased ''Sonia'', the replacement for the sunken ''Queen of the North'') would be named ''Northern Adventure''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=BC Ferries: BC Ferries Announces Names of New Northern Vessels )〕 The keel of the vessel was laid on June 16, 2008〔 and she was launched on September 25, 2008.〔 Sea trials took place at Baltic Sea east from Danish island Bornholm between January 7–9, 2009. The vessel left Germany on 30 January 2009 bound for B.C. via the Panama Canal.〔 ''Northern Expedition'' completed her 9,900 nautical mile journey on 6 March 2009, passing Victoria and Vancouver before arriving in Departure Bay at Nanaimo for post-voyage inspection.〔 ''Northern Expedition'' entered service on 18 May 2009 along the Inside Passage route between Prince Rupert and Port Hardy.〔 She joined ''Northern Adventure'' in BC Ferries' northern fleet and allowed for the retirement of ''Queen of Prince Rupert''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MV Northern Expedition」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
