Crew shortages behind 4 in 10 BC Ferries cancellations last year, report finds
About four in 10 cancelled sailings on BC Ferries last fiscal year were the result of the ferry service’s staffing woes, according to a company report.
The report found about 1,100 of more than 2,800 cancellations from April 2022 to March 2023 were due to crew shortages. That figure was more than double the 522 crew-related cancellations in the previous fiscal year, and just 25 crew-related cancellations in the 2020 fiscal year.
The data is contained in a report titled Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Financial Performance, released at the company’s annual general meeting last week.
