The Port of Vancouver is Canada's largest port and handles diversified cargo ranging from bulk, containers, breakbulk, liquid bulk, automobiles, and cruise.
Moffatt & Nichol was retained by the Port of Vancouver to review the current status of land usage at the port for four key commodity sectors: grain, potash, coal, and containers. Our team reviewed available information and gathered missing data using public sources, assessed the current status of industrial land usage, and provided commentary on applicable land intensification methods utilized worldwide via best practices.
Moffatt & Nichol benchmarked Port of Vancouver terminals against other North American ports, summarized the suggested practices and procedures implemented at other ports, and identified procedures, upgrades, use of technology, layout upgrades, and optimization methods for industrial land intensification.
