Damen Shipyards Group has introduced a new engine combined with a Damen marine emission reduction system. The Damen D16 has recently been awarded EU stage V certification.
The ferries will operate services connecting Nanaimo with Gabriola Island, and Campbell River with Quadra Island. They are scheduled to commence operations by 2027.
The 32-metre vessel delivers well over 80 tonnes of bollard pull, making them capable of handling even the largest container vessels in harbour as well as offshore towage.
