Marine Recycling Corp. of Ontario won tender to scrap decommissioned ferry
The Marine Recycling Corp. of Ontario has won a $2.6-million federal tender to scrap the "Princess of Acadia" which has been tied up at a wharf in Sydport Industrial Park, Sydney Harbour, awaiting demolition. The work may be done in Sydney too. She was taken out of service two years ago and replaced by a modern vessel on the Digby-St. John route. Earlier this year, the federal government moved the ferry to a private dock across from the downtown cruise ship terminal, and issued a request for proposals to scrap it. The tender called on the successful bidder to scrap the ship and dispose of or recycle the materials, and to dispose of any hazardous remains. The work is to be completed by June 30, 2018. Marine Recycling won the tender with a bid of $2,662,783. The company, located in Port Colborne on Lake Erie, has run Help Wanted ads online, seeking health and safety workers and security guards for an unspecified number of jobs in Sydney.

It was a tearjerker for many people. After 44 years of dedicated service, the last sailing from Digby of the PRINCESS OF ARCADIA was last Monday was commemorated by sailing inside the Annapolis Basin to say thank-you to the community of Digby, the province of Nova Scotia, and to the fishing industry which is one of the backbones of the service. the inaugural sailing of MV FUNDY ROSE was last Tuesday, with an 8 a.m. departure from Saint John. In a news release, Bay Ferries and its employees wish thanked “customers for their past and future business, the communities we serve for their continued support, and Transport Canada, together with the provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, for their contributions to maintain this essential link across the wonderful Bay of Fundy.”The company says the introduction of MV FUNDY ROSE will result in better and faster sailing times, improved on board amenities, and more convenience to our customers.
