Marios Iliopoulos-controlled Seajets has resold a 17-year-old ferry as part of a project co-funded by the Canadian government.

Victoria-based BC Ferries has confirmed that it was “finalising an agreement” to acquire the 2,700-gt Aqua Spirit (built 2000) for CAD 12.6m ($9.46m).

This is likely to be a lucrative deal for Seajets, which acquired the ship  in early 2016, at an undisclosed price.
