Total Prepare provides passenger ferry emergency supplies, food and water to locations anywhere in Canada. Passenger ferries play a critical role in connecting communities and transporting millions of people annually across coastal Canada. With routes that traverse unpredictable marine environments, emergency preparedness is not just a regulatory requirement; it’s a vital component of passenger and crew safety. In the event of an incident such as mechanical failure, onboard fire, extreme weather, or a medical emergency, the availability and accessibility of high-quality emergency supplies can mean the difference between a manageable situation and a crisis. Staff hold the important responsibility of ensuring all passengers on board are safe throughout the duration of their sailing. Consistent measures of safety are something Total Prepare is equipped to help with.

• 72 Hour Individual Essentials Kit: This kit is lightweight and compact, making it perfect to store onboard for staff. Affordably priced so you can buy multiple kits to keep in various areas of the vessel to be easily accessed in the event of an emergency.  

• WorkSafe BC First Aid Kits (Personal, Medium and Intermediate): First aid is an essential item for any emergency. The WorkSafe BC First Aid Kit is designed for workplaces with the size of the kit dependent on the number of employees and level of risk, and distance to medical facilities.

Bulk Solutions and Replenishment 

In addition to providing the supplies themselves, Total Prepare can offer inventory and lifecycle management services that ensure all emergency items onboard vessels remain current and in good condition. This could involve the implementation of a replenishment schedule based on expiry tracking, as well as a subscription model for regular resupply of key consumables like food, water, batteries, and other perishable emergency supplies. Automating or scheduling these supply updates would remove the burden from operations teams and ensure that their vessels are always fully equipped without the risk of overlooked inventory lapses. 

Ferry terminals also present an opportunity for enhanced emergency preparedness. In the event of extended delays, vessel rerouting, or natural disasters, terminals could be outfitted with onshore emergency caches. These would include emergency tents, cots, thermal blankets, and sanitation supplies to accommodate stranded passengers or support response teams. These caches could also prove invaluable in situations where ferry service is disrupted, but passengers are already en route or waiting at terminals.
