Canada's STQ orders dual fuel ferry from Fincantieri

摘要

Canada's Societe des tra-versiers du Quebec (STQ) recently awarded a C$148 million contract to Italy's Fincantieri to build a 130 m ferry that will have dual fuel diesel propulsion system able to burn MDO or LNG. The ferry will have a capacity of 800 passengers and 180 cars and will be the first vessel in the STQ fleet not to be built in a Quebec shipyard. The contract, which was signed by Georges Farrah, STQ Chairman and CEO, and Gabriele Cocco, Execu- tive Senior Vice President Fincantieris Merchant Vessels, will benefit from funding from the Government of Quebec, which controls STQ.
