Revision as of 17:21, 23 August 2021
British Columbia Ferry Services, known as BC Ferries, is one of the largest ferry systems in the world. They provide service along the BC coast, between the mainland, Vancouver Island and numerous smaller islands along the coast.
History
BC Ferries was founded in the late 1950s as a crown corporation of the BC Government, and began operating a single route between Tsawwassen and Swartz Bay on June 15, 1960. They later took over ferry operations from Black Ball Lines in the 1960s when the company was experiencing job action. To cope with increasing demand during the 1970s, BC Ferries embarked on a program to lengthen and add another deck to its vessels to increase their capacity. Saltwater ferry services provided by the BC Department of Transportation and Highways were transferred to BC Ferries in 1985. In 2003, the crown corporation was spun off as the independent company British Columbia Ferry Services.
