BC Ferries选择了一家中国造船厂来建造四个新的渡轮,作为其船队更新战略的一部分。 BC Ferries has chosen a Chinese shipyard to build four new ferries as part of its fleet renewal strategy. 这项交易受到不列颠哥伦比亚省保守派的批评,认为它有利于中国工人,它包括设计在混合柴油电池系统上运行并有可能全面供电的船舶,目的是减少排放和提高效率。 The deal, criticized by the BC Conservatives for favoring Chinese workers, includes vessels designed to run on hybrid diesel-battery systems, with potential for full electric operation, aiming to reduce emissions and improve efficiency. 预计渡轮将产生重大经济利益,包括17 200个工作年和22亿美元的一生国内生产总值贡献。 The ferries are expected to generate significant economic benefits, including 17,200 job-years and $2.2 billion in GDP contributions over their lifetimes. BC Ferries指出,加拿大没有船厂为该项目提出可行的投标。 BC Ferries noted that no Canadian shipyards submitted viable bids for the project.
