BC Ferries is one of the world largest ferry operators. Its 36 ships provide lifeline services across British Columbia for 60 000 passengers and 23 000 cars per day on average.
The first stage of the project will soon start with the overall goal to achieve a zero-emission design by use of proven technology. This concept design will be later further finetuned into a basic design and a specification package that will be used for contracting the new ships at a yard.
The new Major Class ferries are expected to be operational by 2029.
