There are two or three issues at play here. One is the age of the ships. The class of ships that we're going to replace are between the ages of 48 and 61. They are well past their design lifespan. These ships aren't just old; they're at the end of life.
The other challenge we have is the fact that our ferry system has reached capacity. I mentioned in my opening remarks that on our major routes—these are the larger routes servicing the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island—in our peak season, including this weekend, which will be our busiest, ferries run at around 92% capacity. We leave hundreds of thousands of people.... Last year alone, 250,000 people were left behind, simply because the system had reached capacity. We literally could not take enough people who wanted to travel back and forth. The system is stressed; the vessels are old, and we have to move forward with renewal.
It's not just our vessels; it's our terminals, as well. We're spending significant amounts to invest in and renew our terminals to make sure we can move safely, affordably and reliably.
