M/V ''Queen of Coquitlam'' is a C class vessel in the BC Ferries fleet, launched in 1976. She first operated on BC Ferries' Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay route. For most of her life, she has been a replacement/relief vessel on all the major routes serving the Greater Vancouver Regional District. She is named for the city of Coquitlam. This ship has the distinction of being the only BC Ferries vessel to have issued a mayday from dry dock when, during a 1980 maintenance layover, she tipped over and landed on her side in the Burrard Shipyards drydock, causing approximately CAD $3 million in damage. In November 2002, she started a major rehabilitation that would extend her service life by another 20 years. The refurbishment, costing CAD $18 million, improved her passenger services with some minor work to her engineering. Additionally, over 100 tonnes of steel was either added or replaced, and four state-of-the-art evacuation stations were installed.〔BC Ferries: (Queen of Coquitlam ) Retrieved on 9 February 2009〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=More than a new look )〕 She returned to service by June 2003.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vancouver Drydock to refit Queen of Coquitlam for BC Ferries. )〕 Upon return, the ''Queen of Coquitlam'' started regular service on Horseshoe Bay-Departure Bay route. The ''Queen of Oak Bay'', which had a similar refit to the ''Coquitlam'', displaced her from her route in the early Summer of 2005. She currently operates as a secondary vessel on Langdale - Horseshoe Bay in the summer, as well as a replacement vessel for any of the other C class or Super C class vessels when they are sent for refitting. ==Statistics== *Length: 139.29 m (457 ft) *Beam (width): 27 m (89 ft) *Decks ASL: 6 *Draught (depth): 6 m (20 ft) *Tonnage: 6,551.18 *Engines: 2 x MaK 12M551AK 6,000 hp (4.5 MW) each maximum *Power 11,860 hp (8.84 MW) *Service Speed: 19 to 22 knots (35 to 41 km/h) *Cars: 362 *Passengers: 1,466 *Crew: 34 *Route: Langdale-Horseshoe Bay (summer) 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 Coquitlam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
