Burnaby class ferry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are three ferries in BC Ferries' fleet which fit into the Burnaby class. They are the Queen of Burnaby, Queen of New Westminster, and Queen of Nanaimo.

These ferries were stretched by 84 feet (26 m) to increase their car carrying capacity. All are propelled by controllable pitch propellers. All were built with Mirrlees National KVSSM, V-16, 4 stroke-cycle, diesel engines, producing 3000 brake horsepower (2,200 kW) at 320 revolutions per minute. The Queen of New Westminster damaged a crankshaft beyond repair and was re-engined with four Wartsila engines. At this time, the New West was also lifted, adding a second upper cardeck similar to the other V class vessels. As a result, she is no longer considered as a "Burnaby" class vessel.
