B.C.'s infamous fast ferries listed on Facebook Marketplace 

shows a totally blown apart roof section and moldy seats/carpet "just needs a paint job boys" haha they need like 20 million dollars of work each

If they're in working condition and have enough life left, the Canadian navy should consider buying them. Install cranes, landing craft, some bridging equipment, and they can use it for moving equipment around. Put everything in containers, and you can drive supplies on & off. When they're not needed for use, keep them in the great lakes to minimize rusting. Civilian crews can maintain them & run them for a few days a month to keep them working. They'd probably be useful if deploying the DART team too. If you need longer term accommodations for a security team or command staff, buy a couple RVs and fit a few containers as sleeping accommodations. There should be a cafeteria or something onboard, otherwise MREs for a week will keep everyone fed. It should be sufficient for landing equipment in a port or an uncontested beach for peacekeeping duties.

On the positive side of all this that nobody wants to talk about is that the fast cats trained thousands of welders and many of those welders were also trained to Weld aluminum which is in itself a huge feat. Many of those welders today are building ships for Washington Marine Group/ SEASPAN in North Vancouver because we already had the skilled workers in place. Thanks fast ferries

Actually, it would be pretty cool to get one of those fairies and live on it👻

Oof, buyer paid 10M each and is selling for 5M each, not to mention the fortune in mooring charges incurred over all these years

Maybe they could be converted into barges to pick up ocean plastics at the plastic island?

These were well built ships. It became a political minefield.

Homeless shelters?

Homeless shelter. Much cheaper than building a shelter.

And yet for some reason people decided to vote for the NDP again in BC

Turn them into floating housing lmao

Aside from their wake issues, the problem with these ferries is certification: they're NOT certified as open ocean vessels, so that limited the sale and operations use. And the money that bought them did it not include extra NEW engines in the crates and other expensive parts? Those would be llong gone for "kash". Buyer probably got their money back just from that.

where is a link to the listing?? I can't find it anywhere

Didn't say where they are. If they're in the Middle East, anything copper or valuable has probably long gone.

"Basic home on the west side" about says it all

They're worth more as scrap metal.

Seaspan had a plan to operate them between Duke Point and Downtown Vancouver at one point which fell through

Video talking about how they haven't been touched in like 20 years with retro interior bits falling apart and then 0:56 shows a bunch of structural damage - 4 seconds later at the 1:00 mark - "They're still in really good condition - other than maybe a paint job" LOL

They'll propably end up as processing boats in Alaska.

and people wonder how did China get so far ahead. Sigh.

Add on marketplace has them listed for 15 million USD each.

These ferries are a mark of how incompetent the NDP is. Nothing has changed. The NDP still thinks that money grows on trees.

BC Ferries should buy them back!

The old wooden ships lived for 30 to 50 years even after salvaging some of them

Why don't they make apts and house the homeless on the waterfront?

Homeless shelters, instead of all the Victoria hotels that keep being given away or funded by our tax dollars.😑 We’ve already paid for these with our earlier tax dollars.

Make them homes for the homeless in Vancouver , Surrey and Victoria

The bridges are smashed

Listing them on Facebook Marketplace is a fitting end for this bad joke of a project. If they're not sold, they will be donated to The Salvation Army. 😂

Artificial reefs

Probably less expensive to just buy one of these than pay those fares hooooooooooooly

turn them into housing

The fastcats israel?

so was this the socred's idiocy or the liberals with gordo drunko campbell?

wow i had forgotten about those ferries

Another great ndp legacy

OMG😂😂😂

Make homes for homeless

They should list the socialist NDP government. For 2 bucks.

BC ferries suck

So what

Bahahahah. THANK YOU NDP. for the hilarious laugh.
