Project
Awarded

BC Ferries ordered four large new ships from a Chinese state-owned shipyard. The decision was justified based on cost and timelines, although there was a resolution passed at the 2025 NDP convention calling for ferries to be built in Canada and prioritizing BC shipyards, including reinstating a 25% duty on 100% foreign-made ships.
