A $110,000 contract has been awarded to CPCS Transcom Limited to assess the province’s shipbuilding capacity.
The PCs promised to build three ferries for the intra-provincial fleet during last year’s election campaign, and issued an RFP to assess the province’s shipbuilding capacity earlier this year.
The chosen bidder will work with industry and government stakeholders, as it examines available technical expertise, local shipyard infrastructure and workforce availability.
A final report is expected to be completed by the end of March.
