HarbourLynx
HarbourLynx was a private company based in Nanaimo, British Columbia that provided passenger-only high speed ferry service between the city centres of Nanaimo and Vancouver.
HarbourLynx was actually the third venture to attempt such a ferry service. The first service was operated using a passenger-only hovercraft in the 1980s. The second venture Kvaerner Fjellstrand Shipping (owned by Fjellstrand A.S.), operating as Royal Sealink Express, operated for only 11 months from 1992–1993, using the 296-passenger MV Orca Spirit - the same model of ship used by HarbourLynx.
