2025 Economic Impact Study
West Coast Ports Are Leading the Way to Doubling Non-US Trade
Every day, $1.1 billion in goods moves through Canada’s West Coast ports — a quiet but powerful engine of national prosperity.

In 2025, West Coast ports moved a record 200 million metric tonnes of cargo, worth $409 billion, connecting Canadian producers to more than 170 customers in overseas markets.
