Image:WashingtonMarineGroup.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Dates of acquisition of subsidiaries, and who their owners were, as with Seaspan International, should be given; third-party sources may provide the only answer as WMG's own site says nothing. In some cases, including Seaspan Int'l, the long history of the company before this holding company bought it up implies there should be a separate article for it. Skookum1 ( talk) 22:28, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved - non-controversial. ukexpat ( talk) 19:00, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
Washington Marine Group → Seaspan Marine Corporation — Washington Marine Group company name changed to Seaspan Marine Corporation on 2 February 2011. Have updated the wiki entry, citing a news source (North Shore News, North Vancouver) of the name change.-- 216.240.127.102 ( talk) 17:09, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
The Map of Victoria Harbour shows no possibilety of unloading/loading of railroad cars though the E&N crosses the harbour at the Johnston Street Bridge. Pan the map to Brentwood Bay, Mill Bay and Swartz Bay in turn and you'll find NO railway tracks at any one of those three locations. You'll be able to pan the map and follow the E&N all the way from Victoria to Nanaimo. There used to be a spur to the coast somewhere south or north of Duncan, but the current map no longer shows it. The map clearly shows the spur to the Nanaimo waterfront. Use the maps map #1 and/or Map #2 PS I lived in Victoria from 1952 to 1959 and from 1961 to 1962 as well as in Vancouver from 1962 to 1967. The last time that I travelled on the ferry between the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal/ Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal was in November 1989. Neither terminal has provisions for railroad cars.

That map is a tourism-based ones and does not show infrastructure - try here and zoom in on Victoria, you'll see rail lines in the upper harbour, above the Bay St Bridge - I know I've seen barges in those waters; other than that there are rail docks at Esquimalt Harbour but those are all military, think. The spur line you mention may have been to the old concrete plant at Bamberton. As for the mainland, there are scads of industrial docks upriver from Roberts Bank, and Seaspan barges are a common site on teh Fraser around New West, the Surrey Docks, around Annacis Island and there are also rail docks on the North Arm of the Fraser within Vancouver....on the North Shore Neptune Terminals has rail docks and there's some out towards Dollarton/2nd Narrows too; some around Port Moody also. As for the claim they compete with BC Ferries, they may mean freight traffic but that's a specious claim as BC Ferries is primarily a passenger/highway adjunct, not a freight service as such. Not the first time a BC company has made overblown claims about its reach/services though. Skookum1 ( talk) 01:13, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
You (Peter Horn) may find a lot of this interesting to the question at hand; it's even more interesting to those of us who don't know how so many public assets slipped into private hands lately, without anyone telling us or having a mandate to do so.... here. What I've never heard before is that Rail America had the Port Alberni-Nanaimo line, how'd that happen? And there's no record of a bidding process on SRBC/WMG (now Seaspan) taking over the E&N. Lots of campaign donations, there's records of those, though....note my comments about the sudden renaming of this company to that of its most prominent BC subsidiary as a political maneouvre, given the same company's participation in Liberal Party campaign backing/organization/connections...if you were from here of late, you'd know that name Ken Dobell, and also David McLean, you probably know who Paul Tellier is....

Seaspan Marine Corporation -> Seaspan ULC - Seaspan Marine Corporation is no longer the correct name of the company, therefore the name of the page should be changed to Seaspan ULC. [1]
References
Done I've also changed the first sentence so it says "Seaspan ULC (formerly Seaspan Marine Corporation)"- this is a standard Wiki way for companies/organisations that change names.
