The Port of Vancouver's centralized scheduling system is now operational port-wide
The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has completed the final phase of its centralized scheduling system implementation, bringing the Fraser River, Roberts Bank, and the English Bay anchorage area into the system and achieving a full port-wide coverage.
This milestone marks a significant step forward for the port authority-led Active Vessel Traffic Management Program and comes at a pivotal time for Canada's supply chains as the country seeks to diversify markets and strengthen resilience amid shifting global trade dynamics.
With full coverage now in place, the system will support efficient, safe ship movements for more than 3,000 annual port calls across 29 marine terminals, including approximately 800 deep-sea vessel calls in the Fraser River and at Roberts Bank-areas where over $200 billion worth of trade flows each year.
With the centralized scheduling system now fully deployed, supply chain partners, operators, and more than 450 registered users have the tools needed to plan, coordinate, and move cargo and people more effectively across Canada's largest and most diversified port.
