In late November 2003, ABD Enterprises of North Vancouver, BC, delivered the 69 ft. (21 m) aluminum crewboat/passenger ferry Tsimshian Storm to North-Co-Corp. Ferry Services Ltd. of Prince Rupert, BC. The vessel was designed by Robert Allan Ltd., Naval Architects of Vancouver, BC to serve the Northern BC Coast First Nations communities of Kitkatla, Metlakatla, and Hartley bay, out of a base at Prince Rupert. Of all aluminum construction, the Tsimshian Storm is configured to carry 45 persons with generous seating space, and two tons of deck cargo. It is operated on coastal voyages with a crew of two persons. The aft deck and main cabin are at the same level to enable use of wheelchairs, and to serve for MedEvac purposes as required.
