B.C. Ferries has filed an application to go ahead with building five new large vessels.

If approved, the vessels would be operational between 2029 and 2031 .

The company would then retire four of its old vessels and two more of these vessels are planned for later.

CEO Nicolas Jimenez has warned that without a “sustainable funding model” fares might need to increase by 30 per cent in 2028 .
