Marine Atlantic’s Leif Ericson was built 35 years ago and now the Crown Corporation is looking for a replacement. Darrell Mercer is in charge of Communications and says a Request for Proposals (RFP) has been issued to identify organizations with an existing vessel. He says they have to be ready to enter into a 5-year charter agreement. The vessel will be a maximum of 195 metres, offer between 1800-3000 lane metres of deck space, carry up to 1000 passengers, be ice-class, and offer amenities such as cabins and restaurant facilities. More details about the RFP are available at marineatlantic.ca.
