VICTORIA, British Columbia, March 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The British Columbia Ferry Commission today announced its preliminary decision on the price cap for BC Ferries’ next four-year performance term.

Key Points: 
  • VICTORIA, British Columbia, March 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The British Columbia Ferry Commission today announced its preliminary decision on the price cap for BC Ferries’ next four-year performance term.
  • “Facing labour difficulties and high inflation, BC Ferries is emerging from the current performance term (PT5) in less-robust financial shape than initially expected.
  • The higher price cap is contingent, however, on BC Ferries identifying $10 million in operating cost savings over the four-year term.
  • “Certainly the $500 million will help alleviate a significant amount of the pressure facing our ferry system,” says Hage, “and allow us to lower the final price cap accordingly.”
    The British Columbia Ferry Commission will confirm the price cap on September 30, 2023.
