  • 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. (en)

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. (de)

  • 卑詩渡輪公司（英語：British Columbia Ferry Services Inc.或BC Ferries，簡稱BCF）是加拿大卑詩省一個實際上（de facto）的公營機構，業務為經營連接省内沿岸城鎮的客運和汽車渡輪服務。卑詩渡輪公司於1960年成立，至今已發展成全世界最具規模的渡輪公司之一。現時卑詩渡輪的船隊達36艘渡輪，一共營運25條航綫，服務省内47個港口。 由於卑詩渡輪提供連接加拿大本土與其外島的渡輪服務，因此亦獲得加拿大交通部提供財政資助。聯邦政府於2004-2005年度向卑詩渡輪提供的資助達2500萬加元；當局是每年跟隨通脹率而對此金額作出調整。 卑詩渡輪的業務範圍並不涵蓋省内的内河和湖泊渡輪服務；這些航綫是由負責，並由該政府部門外判予其他營運商經營。 (zh)
