Operational Transformation & Fleet Renewal
Ferry Transportation — operational excellence and fleet modernization at a federal crown corporation
The Challenge
Fulfilling a federal crown corporation mandate to maximize service reliability, operational performance, and cost recovery within a complex multi-union environment — while simultaneously navigating a major new vessel procurement through Transport Canada and Treasury Board, and meeting stringent ice-class regulatory and compliance requirements.
Our Approach
Led a comprehensive operational transformation spanning new vessel procurement and technical specifications, complex multi-union crew scheduling modernization for 800+ employees across six collective agreements, business process re-engineering, and the study, purchase, and implementation of Canada’s first automated mooring system to replace high-risk manual processes.
What was delivered
A fundamentally transformed operation — from scheduling and safety to fleet capability and regulatory compliance. Fleet on-time performance rose from 59% to 91%. A new vessel was successfully procured and funded. Canada’s first automated mooring system was deployed, dramatically reducing safety incidents, fuel consumption, and improving the overall customer experience.
