RuebenLooks like #Seaspan is getting ready to float the first Joint Support Ship. They moved it into a dry dock yesterday.
The two JSSs are being built at the #NorthVancouver shipyard at the foot of Pemberton Ave.
The multiplier effect is really cool:

Also, maybe it's not 20%, maybe it's 11%, maybe it's 35%. There's some math to do here, but domestic spending multiplies as the BC government would see an increase in personal income, corporate and sales taxes that would offset the higher cost when building ships here, instead of in China.
