Original plan was to electrify six existing Island-class ferries
B.C. Ferries has withdrawn an application to electrify its six existing Island-class ferries, saying it will submit a new plan in coming weeks.No further information about existing and potential new vessels was revealed.
That application had said the program would be paid for by B.C. Ferries and other sources. The company had hoped the federal government would contribute funds but that did not happen. “The company still believes in the merits of operating Island class vessels in battery-electric mode from shore-based rapidcharging systems, and considers that such an approach is in the public interest,” Barabash said.However, B.C. Ferries said in a separate Aug. 30 report to the commissioner, related to the upcoming cap on fare increases, that it “now plans to electrify four new build Island-class vessels.
