VERSATILE Pacific Shipyards’ long awaited restruc-
tured business plan includes the sale of the federally-
funded $60-million floating dry dock for $14.8 million.
Versatile’s financial plan filed in B.C. Supreme Court
last Monday indicates money from the dry dock would
go towards the company’s estimated $20-million debi.

Previous reports claim prospective purchasers may set
up the dry dock in a Japanese port. The floating dry
dock is the only one of its kind on the West Coast and
its departure would affect the area’s shipbuilding capac-
ity. Proponents of the dock’s sale say the structure will
remain idle if it is not sold.

Anna Marie >Hould Versatile’s dry dock leave Canada?

No, it shouldn't. Mainly
because Vancouver is a
sea port and it should
have a backup shipping
facility for repairs of big
vessels.

Rose Taranoff

North Vancouver

No. We should always
have a big dry dock. It’s
the only big one this side
of Canada.

David Hubber

West Vancouver

No, definitely not,
because Vancouver is a
port city and it should
have that type of facility.

I would say that it
should not leave Canada,
and definitely not leave
the West Coast because it
could be used for
emergency repairs on

Rob Hummer

North Vancouver

No, I think it should be
sold somewhere in
Canada, definitely keep
it within the country.
