TransLink, British Columbia Transportation minister Kevin Falcon and Malcom Barker of the Washington Marine Group announced on Monday a signed agreement for a new $25M SeaBus.
The third SeaBus will join the other two in service between North Vancouver's Lonsdale Quay and Downtown Vancouver's Harbour.
Malcolm Barker said the ship will be of the greenest of green vessels and "will be built on time and on budget" in Victoria.
The vessel will initially go into service Summer 09 alleviating one of the existing SeaBuses so that it may undergo a refit. The refit will be completed in time for the 2010 Olympic Games allowing for peak service every 10 minutes vs. the current closest interval of 15 minute between ships.
