Overview
Fraser River Port is located at the mouth of the Fraser River, where the river meets the Pacific Ocean, south of Vancouver, British Columbia. It offers a complete range of services at terminals equipped for efficient container and breakbulk handling. It offers integrated services for the coastal forest industry. It is also the largest autoport in Canada. Fraser River Port is fully integrated with global transportation networks.
On average, more than 23 million tonnes of cargo move through Fraser River Port terminals each year. This creates 10,700 direct jobs in the Lower Mainland alone. Waterborne commerce through Fraser River Port also has a $2.1 billion effect on Canada's GDP, and the total economic output is valued at $4.8 billion.
Fraser River Port is administered by the Fraser River Port Authority. In addition to overseeing trade and shipping, the Port Authority manages federal and provincial Crown Lands within its jurisdiction. It is also involved in:
harbour patrol
environmental stewardship programs and activities
port-wide emergency planning
initial emergency response
The Port Authority also regulates all commercial and recreational navigation in the harbour.
