The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has released its latest Economic Impact Study, confirming the important role Canada’s largest and most diversified port continues to play in supporting jobs and businesses across the country. The study found the port and its supply chains sustain more than 132,000 jobs paying $9.3 billion in wages, and contribute $32.7 billion in economic output and $16.3 billion in GDP. The Port of Vancouver is home to 29 major terminals that move cargo across four different sectors—bulk, containers, breakbulk and automobiles—and passengers through the Canada Place cruise terminal. Every year, these terminals handle approximately $300 billion in trade and move almost as much cargo by volume as Canada’s next five largest ports combined.
