In brief
MV Queen of Coquitlam is a C-class ferry in the BC Ferries fleet, launched in 1976. She first operated on BC Ferries' Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay route. For most of her life, she has been a replacement/relief vessel on all the major routes serving Metro Vancouver. She is named for the city of Coquitlam.
This ship has the distinction of being the only BC Ferries vessel to have issued a mayday from dry dock when, during a 1980 maintenance layover, she tipped in the Burrard Shipyards drydock, causing approximately CAD $3 million in damage. In November 2002, she started a major rehabilitation that would extend her service life by another 20 years. The refurbishment, costing CAD $18 million, improved her passenger services with some minor work to her engineering. Additionally, over 100 tonnes of steel was either added or replaced, and four evacuation stations were installed. She returned to service by June 2003.
Upon return, Queen of Coquitlam started regular service on Horseshoe Bay-Departure Bay route. Queen of Oak Bay, which had a similar refit to Queen of Coquitlam, displaced her from her route in the early Summer 2005. She currently operates as a secondary vessel on Langdale - Horseshoe Bay in the summer, as well as a replacement vessel for any of the other C class or Super C-class vessels when they are sent for refitting.

In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 13,646 gross tons, MV Queen of Coquitlam is the 31,984th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 2.3 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 17,992nd by tonnage — larger than 64% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,358 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 54,309 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (5,698 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 615 hulls on record.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 404 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Canada flag, of which 37 are larger by tonnage.
MV Queen of Coquitlam was built in 1976, making it 50 years old. It is one of 1,812 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 4,484 GT; within it this ship is the 461st largest. Across the whole of the 1970s the registry holds 17,331 vessels, median 2,774 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 1 vessels to Burrard Yarrows Corp., North Vancouver, with a median tonnage of 13,646 GT, delivered between 1976 and 1976. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 139.0 m overall, MV Queen of Coquitlam is 24.0 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 27.1 m and a draft of 5.3 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7411155 this registry holds 63 other vessels, whose median build year is 1977 and which range from 1975 to 1981. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1976.
Its IMO number, 7411155, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 4×6 + 1×5 + 1×4 + 1×3 + 5×2 = 95 — and the last digit of that total, 5, must equal the seventh digit, 5. It does, so this number is well formed.
