Damen Shipyards has secured a contract to build two fully electric ferries for the City of Toronto, enhancing sustainability in the region. These vessels will operate between the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal and the Toronto Islands, a popular tourist spot.  

 Constructed at Damen’s Galati yard in Romania, the ferries are designed in collaboration with Quebec-based Concept Naval, providing a modern, efficient, and eco-friendly solution. 

 One ferry will accommodate both passengers and vehicles, while the other will serve passengers and bicycles.  

 The project marks Damen’s 23rd and 24th ferry deliveries to Canada within a decade, reinforcing their commitment to sustainable maritime transport.
