Two more hybrid vessels ordered by Seaspan Ferries

Seaspan Ferries has announced that it will be adding two new LNG–battery hybrid ferries to its fleet in 2021. The vessels will be constructed by Damen Shipyards Gorinchem B.V. at its Mangalia Shipyard in Romania. The new ferries will join the Seaspan Swift and the Seaspan Reliant, the company’s first hybrid ferries commissioned just over two years ago. Since introducing these vessels to its fleet, Seaspan Ferries has been able to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining a high level of performance and reliability for its drop-trailer service between its Mainland terminals in British Columbia and Vancouver Island.
