These are the two "Island class" vessels now serving the Nanaimo to Gabriola Island route. BC Ferries now has six of these identical vessels with two on the Campbell River - Quadra Island route, and one each at Powell River - Texada Island, and Port McNeill to Alert Bay & Sointula (northern part of Vancouver Island). These vessels are the newest in the BCF fleet.
