The MV ''Queen of Nanaimo'' is a Burnaby class passenger vessel operated by BC Ferries. The ship was built in 1964 by Victoria Machinery Depot. In 1974 the ship was rebuilt and extended 25 meters in length. It currently operates on the Tsawwassen-Gulf Islands route web. In 2006 there was a major overhaul of passenger areas. Its propulsion is by two Mirrlees National KVSSM twin turbocharged (intercooled) single acting 4 stroke, V16 diesel engines which produce at 320 rpm. 15 inch bore by stroke. Propellers are variable pitch (controllable-pitch propeller) made by KaMeWa (a Rolls Royce company). On August 3, 2010 the Queen of Nanaimo had a "hard landing" at the Village Bay terminal ferry on Mayne Island. Media reports suggest at least one serious injury, and damage to vessel and dock.〔(Rope tangled in props of crashed B.C. ferry - CBC, August 3 2010 )〕 It was later established that it was caused by a mechanical failure after the ship ran over a commercial crab trap, making it impossible to put the ship into reverse.〔(West Vancouver doctor sues ferries over crash - North Shore News, August 12 2012 )〕 On July 1, 2011, the Queen of Nanaimo had another "hard landing" at the Tsawwassen terminal.〔(Queen of Nanaimo sailings cancelled after hard landing - Times Colonist, July 3rd 2011 )〕 On November 2, 2013, the ship was pushed off course at Mayne Island after hitting severe weather. It damaged a private dock, and no one was injured.〔(B.C. ferry crashes leaving Mayne Island - CBC, November 2nd 2013 )〕 == See also == * List of ship launches in 1964 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 Queen of Nanaimo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
