| 摘要： | With its March arrival from Poland, the Salish Heron became the fourth and final vessel in BC Ferries' new Salish class. The first three, the Salish Orca, Salish Eagle and Salish Raven, all went into service in 2017. All four were built by Remontowa Shipbuilding, Gdansk, Poland, under design/build contracts and Lloyd's classification. The 107-meter (351') steel ferries can carry up to 138 cars and trucks and 600 passengers. Three of the Salish-class ships run between the south end of Vancouver Island and the southern British Columbia mainland through the Gulf Islands. A fourth Salish class operates farther north and connects Comox on the island with Powell River on the mainland. All routes include crossing the Strait of Georgia, which means at least 15 miles of open water. Because of difficult sea conditions, each end of the doubled-ended boats is protected with a curved visor that rotates up on arrival for unloading, and down when running to prevent spray from hitting the car deck. |
