British Columbia Ferry Services Inc. or BC Ferries is the company that provides all major passenger and vehicle
ferry services for coastal and island communities in the Canadian province of
British Columbia. Set up in 1960 to provide a substantially better service than those provided by the
Black Ball Line and the
Canadian Pacific Railway, which were affected by frequent spurts of job action, BC Ferries has become the largest passenger ferry line in North America and the second largest in the world, boasting a fleet of 36 vessels with a total passenger and crew capacity of over 27,000, serving 49 locations on the B.C. coast.
