BC Ferries looks for new boats; shipyards generally positive

摘要

One day, a dream will come true and New York will order more vessels for Staten Island Ferry. Until that happens, shipyards have several attractive contracts to bid on. The Canadian market is particularly active. BC Ferries, North America's largest ferry service, is looking for a yard to build three intermediate-size vessels, two for 145 vehicles and another for 125 vehicles, and is putting a 50-car cable ferry out to bid. And Newfoundland and Labrador is looking for two new boats.
