The next apple you eat or the next new car you drive may well have arrived on Vancouver Island on a new dual-fuel ferry built in Turkey for Seaspan Ferry Corp.
More than half the cargo delivered to the Island arrives here on one of Seaspan’s six ferries sailing out of terminals in Delta and Surrey, the company said.
“We are a pretty significant player in providing goods and services to the Island,” Steve Roth, president of Seaspan Ferry Corp., said Thursday.
The new Seaspan Swift and Seaspan Reliant, each 488 feet long, will help meet demand for more capacity, Roth said.
“It ramps up our capacity. That’s really been our challenge. We have been limited by our vessels because of their age and size.”
