The Port of Vancouver moved a record amount of goods through its gates last year, an increase driven partly by surging oil exports made possible by the Trans Mountain Pipeline.

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority says total freight at the country’s largest port grew five percent year-over-year to reach 158 million tonnes in 2024.
