Port Metro Vancouver

Port Metro Vancouver (PMV) is Canada’s largest and North America’s most diversified port, trading $75 billion in goods with more than 160 trading economies annually. Its mandate is to support the growth in Canadian trade. Port Metro Vancouver’s activities generate 129,500 total jobs across Canada and generate a total economic output of $22 billion, which includes the value-added gross domestic product (GDP) component of $10.5 billion.

Container traffic through B.C.’s west coast is expected to double over the next 10 to 15 years and nearly triple by 2030. This projected increase in Canadian international trade necessitates planning now to meet future demand. Port Metro Vancouver is pursuing increased collaboration among governments and industry to enable growth in international trade, improve the safety and efficiency of road and rail traffic in the region, and enhance the quality of life for residents of the 16 municipalities in which they operate.

Kirk & Co. has worked with Port Metro Vancouver since 2008, providing consultation services and strategic communications advice on key initiatives such as the Container Capacity Improvement Program and a Gateway Infrastructure Fee.
