LIVERPOOL - R.J. MacIsaac’s
shipbreaking yard in Liverpool seems to be getting some tough competition from
an Ontario company.
Three tenders for
shipreaking have recently been awarded to Marine Recycling Corporation in Port
Coburne, Ontario.
The three ships were all
based in Nova Scotia.
They include the old Digby
Ferry, Princess of Acadia. The tender was awarded on June 20 for that ship for
$2.2 million dollars.
Two earlier multi-million
dollar contracts, for the preserver and the Quest, were also awarded to the
same company. Those vessels were in a Halifax dockyard.
R.J. MacIsaac had earlier
been awarded the tenders for the disposal of the former Protecteur, Iroquois,
and Algonquin. They were taken to Liverpool from British Columbia as part of a
contract worth about $50 million.
