2017 a milestone year in the history of Seaspan Ferries
When a longstanding company achieves a milestone, it is cause for celebration. When an organization like Seaspan, that has been passionately delivering the best marine transportation solutions up and down the West Coast of Canada since 1886, can proudly say “we made history,” it represents something very special.
2017 will long be remembered as a milestone year in the history of Seaspan Ferries Corporation (SFC).
It marked the beginning of the realization of a bold and ambitious vision to re-construct Seaspan Ferries marine terminals and modernize the fleet of vessels that service them. It reinforced an unwavering commitment to Seaspan’s drop-trailer customers. And it served as a testament to how Seaspan Ferries lives out its Core Value of Care for the Environment by ensuring the conservation of Canadian oceans and waterways, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions dramatically while delivering the highest level of efficiency, performance and reliability.
It’s hard to believe just three short years ago – in 2014, Seaspan Ferries was preparing to embark on a large scale capital upgrade to its terminals and vessel fleet, a $250 million investment –with Board approval to modernize its terminals at Tilbury and Swartz Bay, to consolidate the existing terminals in Wellcox and Duke Point into a ‘super-terminal’ at Duke Point, and to build two new eco-friendly ferries in Turkey.
