On 27th February Canadian shipbuilder Davie held a keel laying ceremony for the Armand-Imbeau II, marking the beginning of the hull assembly for this first of two LNG powered sisterships under construction at Davie for the Société des traversiers du Québec (STQ). The two ferries for the Tadoussac-Baie-Sainte-Catherine route are being built at a total cost of $125 million for year-round navigation on the Saguenay Fjord. This first ferry is scheduled to be delivered in autumn 2015, followed by the second, the Jos-Deschênes II, four months later.
