Marine Atlantic
has released a seven-page document outlining the decisions surrounding the sale
of the MV Joseph and Clara Smallwood and the MV Caribou.
You can read the full document by clicking the link
below:
The Crown corporation says disposal of the ships in
a non-environmentally friendly manner “would constitute a breach of the terms
of sale and Marine Atlantic will consider its options up to and including legal
action.”
In the document, Marine Atlantic provides answers
to general questions about the sale of the ships.
The document says the MV Caribou was sold for
$3.875 million and the MV Joseph and Clara Smallwood was sold for $3.8 million.
Those were the second highest bids received. The
highest bidder did not complete the sales transaction and was disqualified from
the process.
Marine Atlantic
said it did not recycle the vessels itself because it would not fit into its
business model and the corporation lacks the expertise.
The corporation said it did not pay to have the
vessels recycled because it was seeking the best financial return for the
people of Canada
