The Salish Orca has finally made it to BC waters after a 50 day voyage from Poland. She is now in Richmond undergoing some final changes before heading north to service the Comox-Powell River route. “We do plan to have this vessel in service by the spring and prior to that we will take her up to the Comox, Powell River area so we’ll have some public open houses so the customers an have a chance to touch and feel the new vessel” said BC Ferries Executive Director of Public Affairs Deborah Marshall. The Salish Orca will replace the 52 year-old Queen of Burnaby, a vessel that has been beset by mechanical problems resulting in numerous delays and sailing cancelations over the last few years.
