The Port of Prince Rupert set a new record for cargo volumes in 2020!
Despite unprecedented challenges brought on by the pandemic, 32.4 million tonnes of cargo moved through the Port last year, up 9% from 2019.
“Thanks to the diversification of our cargoes, and the commitment and determination to maintain a safe working environment through the pandemic by our Port partners and the men and women working in the gateway industry in northern British Columbia, the Port of Prince Rupert’s operations have remained resilient,” said Shaun Stevenson, President and CEO, Prince Rupert Port Authority.

International #DayoftheSeafarer holds special meaning this year, as mariners work tirelessly to keep trade flowing through the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to travel restrictions, thousands have been stuck at sea for months waiting to change crews and they need our support.
To show our gratitude for their efforts, we've come up with a safe way for crew on the ships at anchor in Prince Rupert Harbour to take a well-earned rest on shore, while obeying Transport Canada rules and maintaining isolation. Find out more about our shore break program at link in bio
