The Port of Vancouver placed second-to-last on a global ranking of hundreds of container ports after some cargo ships waited weeks to unload their cargo last year.
The Port of Vancouver came in second-to-last on a global ranking of hundreds of container ports assessing vessel wait-times for overall efficiency.
Indeed, eight of the 14 lowest-ranked container ports were in North America, including British Columbia's Prince Rupert, Los Angeles, neighbouring Long Beach and, in last place, Savannah, Ga. Full container yards and a lack of storage space at distribution hubs meant cargo vessels sat at anchor for roughly 10 days on average in the first half of 2022 — more than twice as long as a year earlier — before docking at the country's largest port.
"Both of those options were, for a time, not available. So they said, 'Just keep it on your chassis.'''
