I see that they work well into the dark hours of the day. I guess they need to take advantage of every hour.

Anyone been by the terminal site recently. I know they're working on upgrades but haven't heard anything or seen pics. I assume it'll have to be done soon with nice weather and tourist season soon approaching.
They've been mainly driving new concrete piles but have recently demolished the old Coho vehicle ramp. There are three barges on site. There are also five cranes onsite, that's got to be some kind of record.

The Coho is out of service right up to Feb 28th.
I can't possibly see how they can get this complete with only one week remaining, unless there is a temporary docking arrangement somewhere. There are still over 10 pilings that need to be placed, and they are still only pouring the foundations for the Cdn Customs and Immigration booths. Photos from today:

Nice pics Janion Guy.
Can you launch a drone over to there, Gary?

Transport Canada may not like that. http://www.cbc.ca/ne...rbour-1.3458536

The girders are the apron that will raise and lowers onto the deck of the ferry that the cars drive on.
It will be place into the hole on the right in the 2nd picture where the orange mini excavator is seen

Here are the girders being put in place for the gangplank. The worksite is a beehive of activity.

Since the loading ramp appears to be situated for a side loading ship, I presume that the Coho is going to be around for awhile yet.

Between a "relaxing" schedule and being subject only to American maritime law (vice Canada) she could have a long life ahead. Parts supply must be a bit of a headache but they did but a lot from the Queens of Sidney and Tsawwassen when they were retired and sold to third parties.

Golly, that does not look like it can be done by Monday.
