The Salish class is a class of double-ended ferries operated by the Canadian shipping company BC Ferries .
history
The ship type was designed by Remontowa Marine Design & Consulting as project number 2990 "Double Ended Ferry 145 AEQ".
BC Ferries ordered three units from the Polish shipyard Remontowa Shipbuilding in July 2014 . The construction of the ships began with the first steel cut for the first unit in January 2015. The first steel cut for the following two units took place in April and July 2015, respectively. The construction costs of the ships amounted to 165 million CAD .
The ships were completed between November 2016 and April 2017 and then covered the approximately 10,500 nautical miles from the shipyard in Poland to their area of operation in Canada on their own keel. The ferries were put into service between May and August 2017. The ferries replaced the more than 50-year-old Queen of Burnaby and Queen of Nanaimo .
The name was given in honor of the coastal Salish and after the Salish Sea in the south of Vancouver Island .
At the beginning of November 2019, another unit of the Salish class was ordered. It is to be used on the Swartz Bay –Southern Gulf Islands route and replace the Mayne Queen there .
description
The ships are powered by diesel / gas electric . For electricity generation are three of dual-fuel eight-cylinder - engines of the type Wärtsilä 8L20DF each with 1,380 kW power driven generators Wartsila / Marelli disposal. The generator sets are housed in two engine rooms. The engines can be operated with diesel fuel or liquefied natural gas . The tanks for the liquefied natural gas are located between the two engine rooms. An emergency generator with 350 kW output was also installed.
Two propeller nacelles with twin Schottel STP 460 propellers are available at both ends of the ferries, driven by electric motors from Wärtsilä / Marelli . The rudder propellers with fixed propellers are driven by electric motors with an output of 1750 kW.
The operation of the ferries with liquefied natural gas leads to a significant reduction in the emission of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides compared to operation with diesel fuel. In addition, burning liquefied natural gas produces less carbon dioxide and hardly any particulate matter .
The ships are designed for operation with 16 crew members . The total capacity is 600 people, so the ships can carry 584 passengers.
The ships are equipped with two vehicle decks, one continuous vehicle deck on the main deck and another vehicle deck below the main deck. The vehicle decks are connected to each other with two ramps at both ends. The ramps can be closed hydraulically. A total of 842 lane meters are available on each of the eight lanes on the vehicle decks . The vehicle capacity of the ferries is given as 138 cars. Trucks and buses can also be transported on the main deck. The main deck is open to the top at both ends. In the middle area it is covered by the superstructures . The usable height on the main deck is 4.75 meters, that of the vehicle deck below 2.9 meters. The main deck is closed at both ends with a visor that opens hydraulically upwards .
Above the main deck is the deck with the passenger facilities, including a lounge with 304 seats, a cafe with 160 seats, a kiosk and a children's play area. Open deck areas are connected to the closed deck. Above that there is another, open sundeck. In the middle of the ships there are three more decks with the facilities for the ship's crew, including 16 individual cabins and the wheelhouse . The ferries are equipped with two ship evacuation systems and life rafts for emergencies .
