BC Ferries awarded multi-billion-dollar contract to build four new major vessels to a Chinese shipyard.

No Canadian company bid on the contract, which will save the company $1.2 billion over going with a European yard.

The company is essentially fully booked through the end of the decade , building Coast Guard and Canadian Navy ships.
