The Port of Possibility.
Port tours offer an excellent opportunity to catch a glimpse of the global marketplace in action. The free, two-hour tour will showcase the largest transportation project in the port’s 100-year history, the West Vancouver Freight Access rail project, as well as the diverse range of marine cargoes handled on port docks.
The Port will host four more tours this year: June 15 (Family Tour) from 11 am to 1 pm; July 20 (Family Tour) from 11 am to 1 pm; September 12 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm; and October 17 from noon to 2 pm.
Reservations are required and can be made by calling the port at 360-693-3611 or by emailing the port at [email protected]. Government issued photo identification is required to attend a tour, and please, no cameras are allowed on marine terminals.
Public tours begin at the port’s administrative building, located at 3103 N.W. Lower River Road, Vancouver, where port staff makes a brief presentation on the port’s history and mission. Following the presentation and a light lunch, attendees participate in a bus tour of the port’s bustling marine terminals and ever-expanding industrial properties.
