The ferries, which will be destined for the Parramatta River, are being constructed with an investment of nearly $50 million from the New South Wales Government.
Toby Richardson from Richardson Devine Marine expressed his satisfaction in the company’s achievements.
“We pride ourselves over the last 34 years of progressively developing our company to build high quality, long lasting true life logical passenger ferries”.
Construction is set to begin within weeks.
