Davie Shipbuilding has made a splash in North America with LNG-powered ferries, being the only yard on the entire continent to construct such ships, says the chief executive of its parent company.
The Canadian shipbuilder last year delivered the 2,500-gt Armand Imbeau II and 5,000-gt Jos Deschenes II to government-run ferry operator Societe des Traversiers du Quebec.
It also has an order for two more LNG-powered ferries for Transport Canada, a federal agency that oversees Canada's transportation and infrastructure needs.
