FastCat Ferries Might Be Back In B.C. Waters

Washington Marine Group is still studying the ferries' possible revival and will probably make a decision by March, when it will have a detailed cost analysis, CEO Steve Frasher said Friday. "People would be willing to give the FastCats a second chance," said Frasher, referring to opinion surveys the company did. The three aluminum-hulled ferries cost the province $454 million to build, but WMG paid just $20 million at auction in March 2003. The trio of 122.5-metre catamarans has been tied up since then. http://www.canada.com/victoriatimescolonist/story.html?id=d6423162-co21-4d11-9517-8b7cf811d643&k=9237 [See also: Fast Ferries, Fine Ferries on Vive le Canada] http://www.vivelecanada.ca/article.php/20051217105510892
