The 'Coastal Renaissance' was on display in Burrard Inlet on Thursday, December 13, making its way under the Lions Gate Bridge around 12:30 pm, then making a 360 degree turn in Vancouver Harbour.
BC Ferries CEO David Hahn says it's been almost 4 years since the project started. "Certainly delivering it on time and under budget has been our goal since the beginning, and we're happy to have people finally seeing it." Unfortunately, rain mixed with snow flurries, and low clouds obscured the view for many people waiting around Vancouver Harbour and Stanley Park.
The Coastal Renaissance showcases a massive photographic invitation to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic games that appears on its hull. It holds 470 cars and 1,650 people, slightly larger than the current 'C-class' ferries. Hahn hopes the new ferry, along with two others being delivered in 2008, will serve the BC coast for the next 40 to 50 years.
