A new update to the Island Ferry Services website

A GOOD NEWS update to our post of January 8th….

We recently shared with you that Translink’s Request for Information process had closed, that the staff evaluation of responses appeared to be complete, and that their Real Estate team would be making contact with preferred proponent(s).

We’re delighted to let you know that Translink has advised that they have accepted our response. We will shortly enter a negotiating phase which we understand will kick off with Translink seeking responses to somewhat more specific and focused due diligence questions. Our best estimate is this process will be complete – that is, we will have completed negotiations for an offer of an Operating License – in 2 to 3 months.

Notably, we have been authorized to expand our work to include direct discussions with Port Metro Vancouver staff on aspects where their approval is needed.

This is great news and a major step forward. With ship construction on schedule, our target remains to start service in the summer of 2018.
