NANAIMO (NEWS1130) is reporting:

B.C. Ferries has confirmed one of its shiny new ships has sustained some damage after a rough landing at Departure Bay in Nanaimo.

Deborah Marshall with B.C. Ferries says the Coastal Renaissance now has what she calls a ‘minor scrape’ along one side.

“The ship did come into contact with the overhead foot passenger walkway.”
