Background

What is a Terminal Development Plan?A Terminal Development Plan (TDP) is a document that will set out a long term vision of how a terminal should develop over time. TDPs will provide the framework for the phased implementation of strategies, actions and projects over the next 25 years.

Why Prepare the Plan?BC Ferries is preparing a TDP to help better inform its capital spending and to ensure that BC Ferries develops its terminals in a sustainable, cost effective, organized, phased and efficient way. Over the next 25 years passenger volumes are likely to increase at the majority of our terminals. This growth in passenger traffic will need to be planned for to ensure the terminal can accommodate functional needs and future growth.

Our Strategic GoalsOur strategic goals focus on the broad outcomes we will pursue to achieve our vision and mission.

STRATEGIC GOALS

Ensure Safe, Reliable and

Efficient Operations

Grow and Profitably Diversify Our Revenue Base

Deliver a Customer-Focused Travel

Experience

Drive Prudent Investment in Our

Capital Assets

Context

Central Coast Route 28 TerminalsThe Bella Coola terminal, located just outside the town centre of the community, provides ferry access to Port Hardy and other Central Coast terminals. In the summer of 2019 it will receive direct service via route 28 and the Northern Sea Wolf.

The McLoughlin Bay terminal, located a few kilometers south of Bella Bella on the east side of Campbell Island, provides ferry access to Port Hardy through Route 10 and other Central Coast terminals.

The Northern Sea Wolf will enable Route 28 seasonal service and will also replace the 44-year old Nimpkish, which provides a year-round connector service on Route 10 between Bella Coola and other mid-coast ports of Bella Bella, Ocean Falls and Shearwater. Route 28 service using the Northern Sea Wolf will begin in summer 2019.

Key issues identified so far

In 2018, a Working Group comprised of staff from key departments at BC Ferries along with the Ferry Advisory Committee (FAC) came together to begin the process of creating a Terminal Development Plan. Through a series of meetings and workshops the Working Group has identified a number of key issues and opportunities which the TDP should address.

Berth infrastructure is nearing the end of its service life

On site vehicle queueing space is limited, forcing passengers to park in town
