Building new ferries to better connect communities and customers on our busiest routes
We’re building up to seven new vessels to connect you to the people and places important in your lives. These state-of-the-art hybrid vessels will provide service on our busiest routes and will be amongst the biggest ferries in our fleet, replacing existing ships that are nearing their end of life.More capacity and innovative design
The new vessels will service our busiest routes between Metro Vancouver, Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast. To help us meet the growing demand for travel on the coast, each vessel will carry up to 2,100 passengers, compared to a capacity of 1,200 - 1,500 on the retiring vessels.
These vessels, designed in collaboration with LMG Marin AS, are also being designed considering the need to reduce emissions through simplified automation, more efficient operations and different fuel sources including bio/renewable fuels, being rechargeable and with the option to convert to fully electric ships in the future when the charging infrastructure is in place to allow this.
