Purpose of this Information Session

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

Foster a Productive, Motivated and

Engaged Workforce

Be a Leader in Environmental and Social Governance

Context

Denman East Terminal + Hornby Island TerminalThe Denman East Terminal is located on the southeast coast of Denman Island, within Gravelly Bay. Denman East is an unmanned terminal and provides ferry access to Hornby Island.

The Hornby Island Terminal is located at Shingle Spit on Hornby Island and is an unmanned terminal that provides ferry access to Denman Island.

The route (Route 22) is served by the Kahloke, a small ferry built in 1973.

The vessel transits between Denman Island and Hornby Island several times a day, carrying passengers and vehicles on the 10-minute sailing.

The projection would see future volumes dip slightly from 2017’s total of 227,837 passengers to 225,000 passengers in 2020, before rising to 234,000 passengers in 2030 and 240,000 passengers in 2041.

Key issues identified so far

In July 2017, 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.

Boat ramp in state of disrepair

Tight bend for long vehicles exiting vessel terminal

Potential safety issues from traffic lining up along road

Holding compound too small

No designated pick up/drop off area

No short term parking

No passenger “real time” information signage
