A trio of Canadian old ladies put up for sale

Canadian ferry operator BC Ferries fleet expansion programme has resulted in three ageing vessels being put on the market for sale. However, the age of the ferries will most probably mean that they will end their days in a ship breaking yard.

With the arrival of BC Ferries new three new Coastal class vessels, plus the Island Sky and Northern Expedition, the west coast operator has withdrawn from service the 1962-built Queen of Vancouver (1,272 passengers, 1,825 lane metres); the 1963-built Queen of Saanich (1,672 passengers, 1,825 lane metres) and the 1966-built Queen of Prince Rupert (544 passengers, 420 lane metres).

Any interested parties should contact BC Ferries at shipsforsale@bcferries.com
