Damen Shipyards Galati in Romania has launched the fourth Island Class battery-powered ferry for BC Ferries. Work will continue on the vessel until scheduled sea trials in April. Following successful sea trials, the vessel will make its way to Point Hope Maritime in Victoria in fall 2021 for final preparations. While the ship has yet to be named, it will be the fourth in a series of six Island Class vessels set to join BC Ferries’ fleet, and it will be the second assigned to the Campbell River – Quadra Island route.
