多伦多电动渡轮抵达伊斯坦布尔。乘客何时能登船?

「Lady of the Quays」号已完成从罗马尼亚拖至伊斯坦布尔的航程,但装船、运至多伦多、试航和船员培训仍未完成。12月是预计抵达加拿大的时间窗口,不是乘客登船日期。

多伦多岛乘客要等到什么条件具备后,才能登上这座城市首艘新型电动渡轮?「Lady of the Quays」号从罗马尼亚船厂被拖至伊斯坦布尔后已抵达那里,但横渡大洋以及投入载客服务所需的工作仍在后面。市政府预计它将于2026年12月抵达加拿大。这并不意味着乘客能在12月登船。⁠1

对于旨在缓解船队老化问题的替换计划来说,这一区别很重要。多伦多已有一艘完工的渡轮离家更近了,但它尚未成为连接多伦多岛的运营船只。装船、运输、交付至多伦多、湖上试航和船员培训,都是从最新建造里程碑到首次公开航行之间尚待完成的事项。11月的最新消息没有提供载客服务的启动日期。⁠1

2026年12月预计抵达加拿大的时间,并非开始载客服务 1

运输进展的消息来自Matthew Bingley为Global News撰写的报道,该报道于多伦多时间11月5日下午2:36发布,内容依据市政府车队服务总经理Abi Thomas通过电子邮件提供的声明。这是该报道的公开发布时间,并不能证明市政府声明另有一个单独的发布时间。报道也没有提供装船或启程日期。⁠1

Thomas表示,完工的渡轮将被装上停靠在伊斯坦布尔的一艘船。该船将载着渡轮穿越地中海和大西洋,再沿圣劳伦斯河驶至安大略湖。迄今完成的航程只是从罗马尼亚拖至伊斯坦布尔,并非横渡大西洋,甚至还没有确认装船是否进行。⁠1

Thomas还表示,旅程开始后,居民可以在线追踪其行程。最新消息既未提供追踪网址,也未确认抵达加拿大的港口。12月仍只是预计抵达加拿大的时间窗口;渡轮何时抵达多伦多的最终停泊处,目前尚未确定。⁠1

下水不等于开始运营

市政府于2026年5月14日公布了「Lady of the Quays」号和「Toronto Islander」号的船名。市政府的命名公告确认了首艘船的正式名称,包括报道中省略的「the」。市政府5月下旬发布的视频显示,「Lady of the Quays」号已下水——这是更早的一项里程碑,并不能证明其运营准备工作现已完成。⁠13⁠1

每艘渡轮抵达多伦多后,都必须完成湖上试航和船员培训,之后才能载客。完成这些工作需要多久,目前还不清楚。11月的报道也没有充分说明此前海试的状态,因此下水视频无法填补测试时间表上的空白。⁠1

第二艘船「Toronto Islander」号预计将在2027年初某个时候交付。Global News报道称,市政府战略传播部门拒绝了多次采访请求,没有提供更多细节,也未透露该船的建造状态。其交付时间窗口也只是预报,并不能证明第二艘渡轮已准备好投入运营。⁠1

这就是为什么运输和运营日期必须分开看待。船只即使已在船厂完工,也仍可能离具备航线运营条件有一段距离。试航和培训并非交付消息附带的次要条件,而是让这笔采购真正发挥作用的一部分。

岸上设施也必须准备就绪

这项替换计划在本次更新发布十多年前便已启动,并在过程中改变了方向。市议会于2018年选择混合柴油电力推进,随后在2022年转为采用全电动船只。市政府于2024年选定荷兰造船公司达门旗下的Damen Shipbuilding 5 B.V.。合同授予范围包括两艘电动渡轮的建造、交付、调试和保修,而不仅仅是造出完工的船体。⁠1⁠14

然而,达门合同签署一年多后,市议员才得知,工作人员此前没有考虑杰克·莱顿渡轮码头的充电基础设施。此后,渡轮监管职责从公园与娱乐部门转至车队管理部门。11月的交付进展并未证明充电设施已经完工。⁠1

这一疏漏影响重大,但并不能证明基础设施仍未完工。电动渡轮需要岸上供电设施,也需要受过培训的船员和经过测试的船只。市政府的说明推进了运输进展的叙述,却没有证明服务的每个环节都已准备就绪。

现有服务每年运送约1.4 million名乘客横渡内港。截至11月更新时,四艘主力渡轮船龄为61至90年。两艘新船计划替换其中两艘,包括William Inglis号;它们不会取代整支船队。⁠6⁠1

这项工作背后还有安全事故记录。William Inglis号于2023年失去动力并撞上码头,造成一名船员受伤。2022年,Sam McBride号发生碰撞,多名乘客受伤;运输安全委员会后来认定,当时市政府的安全规程存在不足。这些事故并不能证明目前每次航行都不安全,但确实说明,试航、培训和运营准备值得审视,不应被当作走过场。⁠1

下一个可核实的步骤是从伊斯坦布尔装船启程。此后还包括预计抵达加拿大、继续运往多伦多,以及在任何一艘新渡轮载客前必须完成的本地工作。「Lady of the Quays」号已更接近其预定航线,但乘客何时能乘坐,仍没有答案。⁠1

播出原貌
  1. A tug brought the new electric ferry to Istanbul. Toronto plans to use it to replace part of an aging fleet serving the islands. But an ocean shipment and preparations for passenger service still lie ahead. What has to happen before island passengers can board?
  2. Lady of the Quays can carry up to 650 passengers and 14 vehicles. It's the first of two fully electric ferries Toronto is buying. The city unveiled its name, alongside the second vessel's name, Toronto Islander, on May 14.
  3. The completed ferry has finished the tow from its Romanian shipyard. In Istanbul, workers must load it aboard another ship for the voyage to Canada. The Atlantic crossing is still ahead.
  4. The city expects Lady of the Quays to arrive in Canada in December 2026. Toronto Islander is due sometime in early 2027. Those are delivery expectations. Each ferry still needs preparations in Toronto before it can carry passengers.
  5. Abi Thomas, Toronto's general manager of Fleet Services, described the transport plan. The carrying ship will take the ferry through the Mediterranean and across the Atlantic, then into the waterways leading to Lake Ontario.
  6. From Istanbul, the planned route crosses the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. The ship then heads up the St. Lawrence River to Lake Ontario. December's expected arrival in Canada leaves the final delivery to Toronto still to follow.
  7. Thomas said residents will be able to track the journey online once it begins. The immediate step is loading and departure from Istanbul. After delivery to Toronto, each ferry must complete lake trials and crew training.
  8. The city posted a video of Lady of the Quays being launched in late May. Launching the vessel was an earlier construction milestone. The lake trials will test it on the water where it will work, while crews prepare to operate it.
  9. About 1.4 million passengers cross the inner harbour on the existing ferry service each year. Its four ferries were between 61 and 90 years old at the November update. The new vessels are intended to replace two of them.
  10. The replacement programme leaves part of the existing fleet in service. William Inglis is among the two ferries due to be replaced. For island passengers, the programme concerns the reliability of their connection as well as the move to electric propulsion.
  11. Council chose hybrid diesel-electric propulsion in 2018, then switched to fully electric vessels in 2022. In 2024, the city selected Dutch shipbuilder Damen for the two-ferry contract. The procurement effort had begun more than a decade before this delivery update.
  12. Damen's contract covers construction, delivery, commissioning and warranty. Commissioning means preparing the vessels to operate. Transporting a finished ferry to Canada completes one stage of that work, with operational preparations following its arrival.
  13. Councillors learned that staff hadn't accounted for charging infrastructure at the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal. That discovery came more than a year after the Damen contract was signed. Electric ferries also need the shore-side equipment that supplies their power.
  14. Oversight of the ferries subsequently moved from parks and recreation to fleet management. The city hasn't said whether the charging work is finished. That leaves another preparation to resolve alongside the vessels' delivery and testing.
  15. William Inglis lost propulsion and struck a wharf in 2023, injuring a crew member. That accident is part of the safety history behind the replacement effort. Another crash the year before exposed shortcomings in how the city managed ferry safety.
  16. Sam McBride crashed in 2022, injuring several passengers. The Transportation Safety Board later found the city's safety protocols had been lacking at the time. That history gives the remaining trials and crew training practical consequences for passengers and workers.
  17. Before either new ferry carries the public, it must reach Toronto, complete lake trials and have trained crews ready to operate it. The length of that testing period is still unclear. The city hasn't set a date for passengers to board either new ferry.
