TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinor
May 5, 2026Tyee Point, BRITISH COLUMBIA (BC)
On 05 May 2026, the ferry "QUEEN OF SURREY" reported having sustained a total failure of its propulsion controls and a brief loss of propulsion while preparing for berthing in Horseshoe Bay, BC. The crew regained control of the propulsion and the vessel completed the manoeuvre. The crew subsequently investigated the cause of the issue.
TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinor
Jan 1, 2025Langdale Ferry Terminal, BC, BRITISH COLUMBIA (BC)
On 01 January 2025, the passenger and vehicle ferry "QUEEN OF SURREY", reported that one of its controllable pitch propellers had failed while docked at Langdale Terminal, BC. The vessel was taken to Vancouver dry dock by using its other propeller under a tug escort.

Apr 16, 2021Berth 1, Langdale Ferry Terminal, Langdale, BRITISH COLUMBIA (BC)
On 16 April 2021, the passenger ferry "QUEEN OF SURREY" reported taking its No. 1 propeller shaft system offline, while docked at the Langdale Ferry Terminal, BC, due to a pump problem. The vessel continued its scheduled sailing with the No. 2 propeller shaft system.

Read from the single most-recent AIS broadcast we hold for this hull — we keep no position history, so this is a point-in-time posture, not a dwell inference. Derived in-house from our own AIS feed; weight it by the broadcast age above.

Flag register25

A coverage-weighted blend of the 2 components we could read for this hull — the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. This headline is flagged low-confidence (a thin or structural-only read) and should not be treated as a verdict. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.

Design draught looks implausible for this class and size — the figures above are anchored to it, so treat them with extra caution.

Estimate only — modelled from deadweight (deadweight only) using a first-principles hydrostatic model, not measured hydrostatic tables. The design draught it is anchored to is unreliable across the fleet.
