VICTORIA - Thousands of people in the ship building industry across the country are on edge tonight.

In less than 24 hours we are expected to know who will be awarded a lucrative and long term shipbuilding contract by the Federal Government.

More than 33 billion dollars of work is up for grabs and BC based Seaspan is considered a front runner for the contract.

There are two large contracts. The biggest is for $20 billion, to build warships. An $8 billion dollar contract will also be awarded for civilian support vessels, such as Coast Guard Cutters.

Industry insiders say the ship building industry on the west coast would be in jeopardy if Seaspan does not get the contract.
