The fast ferry scandal was a political affair in the late 1990s relating to the construction of three fast ferries by the Canadian provincial crown corporation BC Ferries under direction of the Executive Council of British Columbia, headed at the time by Premier Glen Clark of the New Democratic Party.
Who built BC fast ferries?
The BC-built PacifiCats were an initiative of the BC NDP-led provincial government in the 1990s, in a bid to boost the local shipbuilding industry and turn the province into a global exporter of aluminum ferries.
Where were the BC fast ferries built?
The fast ferries project was unveiled in June 1994. The three aluminum high-speed Pacificat catamarans were meant to shave 30 minutes off the existing sailing time. The boats were built at B.C. shipyards.
