Built in 2007, warranties have expired on the vessel, one of three Coastal-class ferries built in Germany
Extensive repairs will keep the Coastal Renaissance ferry out of commission for at least five weeks — through the upcoming Labour Day and Thanksgiving weekends — or longer, depending on the scope of the work required.
Because most sailings are already booked for the Labour Day long weekend, customer care director Karen Tindall urged customers to car share or walk on. Parking lots will likely be full, too.. They are considered to be among the most reliable in the fleet, said Nicolas Jimenez, B.C. Ferries president.
Coastal Renaissance is normally one of three ferries serving the Duke Point-Tsawwassen route during the summer. Queen of Coquitlam is being brought in to sail on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to help lessen the impact. Three likely scenarios are being considered: do the repair in Nanaimo, send it elsewhere in North America or ship it to Germany.A specialist contractor is being retained to prepare lifting equipment to remove both the rotor and the stator .
“I think it is safe to say that we would be unlikely to see this vessel back before mid-October,” Jones said.
