Der har været søsætning af den 4. af de 4 Island Class færger, som Damen Shipyards Galati bygger for canadiske BC Ferries. Færgen vil få navnet ISLAND K’ASA og vil blive indsat på ruten Campbell River – Quadra Island i starten af 2027.
“Launching the final Island Class vessel is an important step in renewing our fleet and strengthening service for coastal communities. These vessels add space for more passengers and vehicles while helping us replace aging ships with modern, more efficient ones. That’s essential to keeping ferry service reliable for the people and communities who depend on it every day.”
Nicolas Jimenez, President & CEO of BC Ferries.
Den første færge i serien ISLAND XWSAĹUX̌UL er pt. på vej mod Canada under det midlertidige navn ISLAND 7.
