Attending the Colibri Ferry Conference reminds me why I’m passionate about transforming ferries in BC. Inspiring to see similar plans for passenger-only ferry service are already happening in the U.S. Great ferry service is driven by the communities they serves.

Join me at the Streetlight Summit 2024 where I'll be talking about Greenline Marine Inc.'s use of digital simulations in the electrification of urban-facing marine transportation, and the critical role that Streetlight plays in modelling the ebbs and flows of customer demand.

Good design makes transportation better! Canada has so may great examples on how we've done this right. Looking forward to the @designcanfilm screening, Mon Nov 27, 7pm at the VIFF Centre Vancouver.  Hope to see you there!

You have to love Alaskan barges.

They look like something out of a dystopia future.

[Callum Campbell @callucam]

Ferries aren't highways. They can be so much more.

Black smoke used to be a sign of progress; the sails belonged to the 19th c.

Now it is the sails that are regarded as progressive; the black smoke belongs to 20th c.

Over the past 25 years, as new passenger-only ferry services have come online in Puget Sound, the Washington State Ferry system has steadily carried fewer and fewer commuters. Car ferries for the cars, people ferries for the people. It just makes sense.

[Callum Campbell @callucam]

@sdcavens Awesome. See you on board!

This week, I'll be commuting by ferry to a conference about ferry commuting! If you haven't registered yet, there's still time: https://t.co/1QoAuE9bn2.

Amongst captaining and running a business and homeschooling, America’s first female tugboat captain “is fondly remembered for her talent playing the piano and was known to have upright pianos aboard each tug”. Incredible!

(Also suddenly feeling very unproductive with my life!)

America’s first licensed female tugboat captain, Elsbeth Smith, dies at 82.

No BC bingo card is complete without a ride along with Uchuck III, offering daily freight service through historic Nootka Sound. Epic send off from the dock. ⁦⁦Thanks @GetWestAdv⁩

[Callum Campbell @callucam]

As the practicalities of renewing Washington State Ferries' car ferry fleet sink in, a coastal transportation network supplemented by passenger-only ferries is a natural choice. Nice articulation of that idea found here. https://t.co/VfuaNhosVq via @kitsapsun

[Callum Campbell @callucam]

Car ferries & passenger-only ferries each have their own distinct strengths and weaknesses. Resilient transportation means having options. We don't need one or the other. We need both!
