Horseshoe Bay Terminal Infrastructure Renewal Program

Project Overview

BC Ferries is undertaking a major infrastructure renewal at the Horseshoe Bay terminal—one of its oldest and busiest terminals—to enhance safety, reliability, and customer experience. The multi-year program includes the upgrade or replacement of three berths, relocation of the control tower, seismic and structural improvements, and modernization of aging infrastructure to meet current and future demand. With investments expected in the hundreds of millions, the upgrades will improve operational efficiency, accommodate a broader range of vessels, and support the integration of BC Ferries’ New Major Vessels, all while prioritizing minimal disruption to customers and staff.

Charter is providing integrated advisory services to support the successful planning and delivery of the Horseshoe Bay Terminal Infrastructure Renewal Program. Our team is delivering cost advisory services to support budget development, funding strategy, and cost validation across program phases. We are also providing procurement advisory support, helping to define delivery strategies, develop procurement documentation, and ensure alignment between technical scope, risk allocation, and commercial frameworks. In addition, Charter is offering technical advisory services that inform program planning, phasing, and constructability—ensuring the renewal works are deliverable within the terminal’s complex operational constraints. Through this multifaceted support, Charter is helping BC Ferries implement a resilient, cost-effective, and future-ready infrastructure program.
