Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents -BC Ferries currently deploys 11 vessels on its major routes that connect Vancouver Island with the Lower Mainland. Six of these are decades old and nearing the end of their effective service life. While the volume of traffic has significantly increased over the past three decades, there have not been any additions to the major routes carrying capacity since the Spirit Class vessels were introduced in 1993-94. Consequently, 60% of the vehicles using the ferry on a major route last summer had to wait for at least one sailing. In a bold move to bring this portion of its fleet into the 21st century, on Friday, December 13, BC Ferries applied to the BC Ferries Commissioner for permission to add 5 New Major Vessels (NMV). Each of these new ferries is a diesel-electric hybrid, with the capacity to go 100% electric once the necessary infrastructure is in place. This would seem to open the door for a fully electric fleet at an as yet to be determined date in the future. Meanwhile, according to their application, “The NMVs are expected to reduce tank-to-wake GHG emissions and well-to-wake GHG emissions by approximately 90 percent compared to fossil-fuel-based diesel in support of the Province's CleanBC goals and GHG emission reduction targets.” If this project is approved, the first of the NMVs should be deployed in 2029 and BC Ferries expects to add a vessel every six months until 5 are in service around 2031. The plan is to replace 4 of the fleet's oldest ferries with 5 larger new ones. This will bring the total number of vessels serving these routes up to 12. If this plan proceeds as planned, BC Ferries will increase the routes' carrying capacity up to 28% for passengers and 19% for vehicles. However their application warns, “If only four ships are approved, BC Ferries' capacity growth will fall behind population projections for our region, meaning delays, waits and the risk of breakdowns will be worse than they are today when we are already feeling the impact of the lack of resiliency in the fleet. By approving all five vessels, the Ferry Commissioner will help ensure BC Ferries can keep pace and improve how it serves our region, with additional resiliency during refits and breakdowns, greater capacity in peak season and year-round, and demonstrable benefits to our climate with cleaner fuels (and the option for electric power) and less noise pollution.” The British Columbia Trucking Association estimates that ferry cancellations, breakdowns, and delays can cost up to $100 million per year, every dollar of which is passed on to consumers. These new ferries are expected to reverse this trend, enabling an increase of over $240 million worth of additional cargo by 2035. They are also projected to enable the introduction of another 130,000 incremental tourists to the islands.   The current scenario is to deploy 3 NMVs on the Tsawassen to Schwartz Bay route (#1) and 2 on the Tsawassen to Duke Point (#30) run during peak season. Any additions to the Horseshoe Bay - Nanaimo route (#2) will preseumably be made by 2027, by which time BC Ferries hopes to have 7 NMVs deployed. Some of the additional features mentioned in the BC Ferries press release include: “The NMV propulsion systems are being designed to reduce underwater radiated noise, which poses a known risk to the health of at-risk marine life, including the Southern Resident Killer Whales.” Wider walkways on the ferries, designed to accomodate large wheelchairs. “new kids' play areas and updated food service offerings still in the process of being designed.” “new pet amenities on the passenger deck, including stainless steel kennels, semi-enclosed seating for owners and pets, a handwashing station with hot and cold water, pet relieving areas with artificial turf, and a dog drinking fountain.”

The Trudeau Liberals give Canadians a 2 month GST holiday, Alberta is looking at a different auto insurance approach, and BC Ferries is looking to raise fares by 30%. Also, Trump tariffs cause chaos in the Canadian media. Hosts: Shane and Patrick Duration: 1:05:16 For detailed show notes visit westerncontext.ca.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - As some of you may have already heard, BC Ferries is going through some changes. They range from a total revamp of the way they have been engaging with the public to that probably won't effect fares until 2028. Let's start with finances. BC Ferries CEO Nicolas Jimenez recently informed the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce the cost to build ferries has risen 40% since 2020. Speaking as a customer, my immediate thought was this sounds like there is a fare hike coming. Jeff Groot, BC Ferries Executive Director in charge of communications, responded “I think that's a fair reaction. There's a couple of things that we're experiencing right now.”

In this episode of the Quadra Alumni Podcast you'll hear from Colin Henthorne, a former Sea Cadet from RCSCC Hampton Gray VC in Nelson, BC.  Colin joined the Corps in 1966 at 12 years old and made his first trip to HMCS Quadra in the summer of 1967.  Colin goes through, in detail, some of his memories from his very first day at Goose Spit.  Colin later took his Boatswain Course at Naden and then attended an International Exchange to Holland (Netherlands) before returning to Quadra in 1972 to attend the Officer Cadet Course.Colin was determined to be a Flotilla Officer and was so thankful to learn from people like John Treen and Doug McLaughlin.  We spend some time chatting about Flotilla legend “Red Fullerton”.  The Quadra Flotilla led Colin to a career in the marine industry that includes the Coast Guard Hovercraft and Cutters, then offshore oil exploration in the Arctic, tugboats, the Department of Fisheries of Oceans and then moving over to BC Ferries for 18 years.Very thankful that Colin was willing to talk about his service as Captain on the Queen of the North (BC Ferries route – Prince Rupert to Port Hardy), where unfortunately on 22 March 2006 the ship struck Gil Island and sank in Wright Sound.  Colin gave the order to abandon the ship, they all watched her sink below the surface on that dark Westcoast night; 2 people perished in the incident.  To read more about the incident look for Colin's book – “The Queen of the North Disaster – The Captain's Story”.Audio editing done by Todd Mason.More about the Quadra Alumni Podcast: - Join the Quadra Alumni Association at https://www.quadraalumni.com/ - Follow on Twitter at https://twitter.com/QAAPodcast- Follow on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@quadraalumnipodcast6108 - Follow on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/q_alumni_podcast/?hl=en Email us at quadraalumnipodcast@gmail.com for any inquiries or requests to be on the Quadra Alumni Podcast
