| dbo:abstract |
British Columbia Ferry Services Inc., operating as BC Ferries (BCF), is a former provincial Crown corporation, now operating as an independently managed, publicly owned Canadian company. BC Ferries 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 similar service to that provided by the Black Ball Line and the Canadian Pacific Railway, which were affected by job action at the time, BC Ferries has become the largest passenger ferry line in North America, operating a fleet of 36 vessels with a total passenger and crew capacity of over 27,000, serving 47 locations on the B.C. coast. The federal and provincial governments subsidize BC Ferries to provide agreed service levels on essential links between the BC mainland, coastal islands, and parts of the mainland without road access. The inland ferries operating on British Columbia's rivers and lakes are not run by BC Ferries. The responsibility for their provision rests with the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation, which contracts operation to various private sector companies.

Mit den Fähren werden die insgesamt 47 Terminals der zahllosen Inseln und Orte entlang der Küste angelaufen. Dabei transportierte BC Ferries im Geschäftsjahr 2014/15 fast 20 Millionen Passagiere und fast 8 Millionen Fahrzeuge. Im Vergleich zu den Vorjahren blieben diese Zahlen weitgehend konstant.
