 New ferries beat clock and budget   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
The new vessels are part of an effort by B.C. Ferries to replenish its aging fleet and improve an image that was otherwise tarnished by labour and safety issues -- chiefly the sinking of the Queen of the North nearly a year ago -- as well as higher fares blamed on increasing fuel costs.
As controversial as it was to have the Super-C class vessels built outside of British Columbia, it would be foolish to figure on a fast-ferry fiasco from the German shipyard that's constructing them.
While the new ferries are being built, B.C. Ferries continues to juggle its fleet on the northern routes.

At a time when ridership on the Bay Area's ferries is sinking so low that boats are being docked, state lawmakers are being asked to float one of the world's largest ferry fleets on the bay.
But Bay Area ferry backers say that even though Gov. Gray Davis is looking to slash transit funding, it's important to take the long view -- and realize that when the economy revives, the need for new transit alternatives will become obvious.
