Heard that FSG has taken BC Ferries to court due to non payment, apparently due to the higher then expected fuel consumption BC Ferries is demanding 4 out of the 6 ferries ordered free, Anyone else hear this or can confirm this rumour or debunk it?

We deleted this thread last time (a few days ago, when you posted the same thing), because it seemed like you were being a troll in posting vague rumours with lots of errors. Remember that you also posted about a current Alaska ferry that was built in Germany? So, seeing as you are posting this again, you should probably explain a few more details about what exactly you heard, where you heard it, and why you think it's true. As for me, with your vague post being the only thing I've heard on this subject, I'd have to debunk it. Your post is very unconvincing and so I'm rejecting the issue as being a troll-like lie. The phrase "BC Ferries is demanding 4 out of the 6 ferries ordered free" is pretty funny. Yes, BC Ferries has 6 new ships in the past few years, but only if you don't count 1 of the 7 new ships (I've include the Kuper). You think they would get the 4 German built ships for free? That's a good one, I appreciate the humour. Like I said, your post is very troll-like: too many untruths that seem deliberately set in order to cause people to waste their time responding with questions. Hey, "heard that people find troll-like posts to be a nuisance". -------------- ps: Heard that the moon is made of blue cheese. Herd that group of cattle. ;D |

Kind of silly on several fronts. A waste of time responding, but you need to know a few important things. 1. FSG built 4 ferries for BC Ferries, not 6. 2. If there was court action, the petition would be filed in BC Supreme Court, not in Germany with FSG procuring legal representation locally. 3. If there was an issue of fuel consumption, the legal action would be the opposite (jn other words fuel consumption would be a contractual issue and in that case BC Ferries would be the plaintiff, and FSG the defendent. 4. The four ferries are performing within specifications as provided for in the builder's agreement signed by FSG. Why are you bothering us with your junk? And, the court hearing was in BC, it would probably be all over the news by now. I looked it up; all I found was this, dating back to 2004: It was on this site: www.nsnet.com/archive-1-2004-09.html |

Well it was a german tourist who told my dad, I never said it was true, I did say Rumour, I was asking if it was true. And if Memory serves me right they were originally going to buy 6, but in the end only 4 where built/bought.
I will assume this rumor false. I am not a troll, and would have appricated you letting me know you deleted it for that reason. Guess you can't ask a question that is from someone stating something and you want to confirm or debunk what they said as i said in the post, as I thought this forum would be able to. That is all. Sorry if my question upset anyone

Sorry if my question upset anyone If you had worded your original posts to include the information in the 1st paragraph above, I don't think that anyone would have considered you to be a troll (even me). But based on the limited words that you shared originally, I think that it was easy to conclude that you were a troll, especially considering the controversial topic that your post was about. Thanks for elaborating this time and explaining yourself. That makes all the difference. |
