Det Canadiske rederi BC Ferries, havde den 23. august dåb af den tredje og fjerde Island class færge. Ceremonien blev afholdt i Point Hope Maritime.
“Today’s ceremony marks a major milestone as we bring two additional Island Class vessels into the fleet. When these ships enter service next year, they will connect communities and help BC Ferries in its journey towards being one of the most sustainable companies in the world. We are grateful to have members of the BC Ferries family and the communities we serve bestow the ships with good luck and protection.”
Mark Collins, President & CEO, BC Ferries.
Den tredje Island class færge, som har haft arbejdsnavnet ISLAND 3, blev døbt ISLAND NAGALIS, mens den fjerde Island class færge med arbejdsnavnet ISLAND 4, blev døbt ISLAND K’ULUT’A. De to færger vil i 2022, blive indsat på ruten Cambell River – Quadra.
“The addition of the third and fourth Island Class vessels to BC Ferries’ fleet is great news for coastal communities. I commend the effort to move towards cleaner technology that aligns with our Government’s Clean BC plan to reduce GHG emissions in transportation. This will benefit ferry users and all British Columbians for generations to come.”
Rob Fleming, MLA, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure.
