Employment prospects brighter for shipyard

A welcome lift to the employment picture in the local shipbuilding industry has been provided by the

mental equipment to handle sewage and garbape.

Burrard Yarrows submitted

award to Burrard. -- Yarrows—thelow-bid for the constiiic-

of a contract to build two new large ferries for the B.C. Ferries fleet.

The two new large passenger-car ferries that are being built for the B.C. Ferry Corporation will have some changes from the

Coquitlam-class ferries that _

were delivered by Burrard Yarrows in 1976.

The two newest ‘‘queens’’ will have increased passeng- er capacity, fully air condit- tioned passenger and crew areas and improved environ- |

tion of the two vessels. One will be built at the ‘company’s North Vancouver shipyard and one in Victoria, with delivery scheduled for early 1981.

The new vessels will have

accommodation for 1,500 passengers compared with 1,100 in the Queen

Coguitlam and Queen of’ Cowichan. The vehicle

capacity is the same at 362 cars.

The overall length is the’ same at 457 feet and the

of |

‘breadth is 90 feet six inches (18 inches wider).

There will be five elevators from the car deck to the passenger area but there will

be_no escalators. The-solar—

The new vessels will have

‘complete sewage treatment plants as opposed to sewage holding tanks and will also have an accelerated inciner- ator system which will handle both solid wastes from the galley and oi! waste from the engine room bilges.

The passenger lounge areas are larger—extended 35 feet both.fore and aft as compared with the former larger ferries—and there will be additional public wash- rooms. The wheel-house is moved forward.

ium areas on the sun deck also will be larger.

The ferries’ safety equip- ment will use a new type of passenger escape slide and will have 42-man fife rafts.

.A contract for the length- ening of three smaller ferries and another for the construc- tion of steel barges at Burrard Yarrows’ North Vancouver yard will further

stabilize the job situation there during the months ahead.
