East Pacific · Container Terminal
In the last 180 days, ArcNautical recorded 137 vessel arrivals at Vancouver, with Cargo accounting for 45% of port calls — higher than the East Pacific regional average of 34%. Vancouver in Canada sits along the western coast of the Americas, where commercial shipping operates against a backdrop of seismic, volcanic, and ENSO-driven weather hazards. The Pacific Ring of Fire generates significant seismic and volcanic activity along the entire coast; Chile and Peru experience major earthquakes with sufficient frequency that seismic risk is material for both port infrastructure and voyage planning. The Panama Canal — the key chokepoint connecting the eastern Pacific with the Caribbean and Atlantic — has faced drought-related transit restrictions that limit vessel draft and daily transit capacity, forcing some operators to route via the Strait of Magellan or Cape Horn. El Niño/La Niña cycles produce sustained shifts in storm tracks and sea states.
Across 137 distinct vessel arrivals, 137 carry a confirmed AIS ship-type code. The most common categories at Vancouver:
Canada is a multi-MoU jurisdiction (its port states participate in more than one regional PSC programme). Vessel-level detention probability for calls at Vancouver is computed by ArcNautical's scoring engine using flag performance, vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity rather than a regional aggregate.
