BC Ferries selects Chinese shipyard for four new hybrid ferries, despite political criticism.
BC Ferries has chosen a Chinese shipyard to build four new ferries as part of its fleet renewal strategy.
The deal, criticized by the BC Conservatives for favoring Chinese workers, includes vessels designed to run on hybrid diesel-battery systems, with potential for full electric operation, aiming to reduce emissions and improve efficiency.
The ferries are expected to generate significant economic benefits, including 17,200 job-years and $2.2 billion in GDP contributions over their lifetimes.
BC Ferries noted that no Canadian shipyards submitted viable bids for the project.
