Another update from Vancouver announces a new passenger ferry service which is
in pending and quite delayed for sometimes.
On Facebook, an apology asked by the
IFS (Island Ferry Services) company for the delay and interruption of the
service to their travelers. The company also talked about his consignment which
is collaborated with the Translink. Last year, a permission for the customers
was made to get their noncompetitive high-speed ferry service on the lease for
parties which would be routed on the Sea Bus terminal at Waterfront Station in
downtown Vancouver and it was the IFS that was selected.
The Ferry is optimized with the latest
ramps and fenders. The ships will carry-on outer berth rather than inner birth.
“Our commercial negotiations with TransLink
are under a very restrictive non-disclosure agreement. As such, we cannot and
will not speak to the details other than to say that the discussions are
positive and that there are few remaining issues,” reads the post.
The authority of Port of Vancouver (VFPA) is somehow
responsible to maintain the activities on schedule and proper time. They are
also responsible for the delay and the interruption.
“We did not anticipate that the very minor
works required to the outside of the SeaBus Terminal would require a
comprehensive permit application to the VFPA – including a separate
environmental assessment focused on the potential impact of our operations on
marine mammals,” reads the post.
“The permit application and associated study
were recently submitted but approval can take up to 60 days.”
In order to achieve the purpose and
paradigm related to the environmental assessment, a leased space for the
terminal is required by the Nanaimo Port
Authority which is finally completed.
Approximately, 40 billion dollars are
invested by the Island ferries on its Singapore construction project. The other
operational services that should be managed before the launch are setting up
back-office, business operations, hiring and training ship and terminal staff,
and the testing of the ship from the construction yard.
About 376 passengers can travel on the
new ferries with the speed of 40
knots (75 km/hr.). Previously, BC ferries took 100 extra minutes of
traveling which didn’t include driving time to and from the Horseshoe Bay. But now,
the distance becomes shorter from Vancouver to downtown Nanaimo. The
fares are very reasonable and start from $25.00.
“This
is a complex, expensive undertaking with many moving parts (some of which have
been most unexpected), yet we are working diligently through the regulatory
processes to ‘keep those parts moving in the same direction’, and get this
service underway,” continues the post.
“We
are still investing on this project and remain fully committed to providing
this much needed, and highly desired, Nanaimo-Vancouver service.”
