Carrier services calling Vancouver

Scheduled arrivals and departures at Vancouver

Carriers calling Vancouver
Ships calling Vancouver
The number after each ship is its scheduled calls at Vancouver. Ships named on at least 3 published sailings have their own page.
Local time at Vancouver
Cut-offs, gate hours and the carrier’s local office all run on the port’s clock. Check it before you promise a delivery date.
Source: IANA time zone database, using the zone that covers the port itself, so the offset follows daylight saving time. The clock itself runs on your device.
Container terminals at Vancouver
The terminals that handle container ships here: useful for knowing which gate your trucker goes to and which terminal code to quote on a booking. The carrier, not the port, decides which terminal your ship uses.
| Code | Terminal | Operator |
|---|---|---|
| CTM | CENTENNIAL TERMINAL (CENTERM) | DP WORLD VANCOUVER |
| FSD | FRASER SURREY DOCKS | FRASER SURREY DOCKS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP |
| DLT | GCT DELTAPORT | GCT GLOBAL CONTAINER TERMINALS INC. |
| VTM | GCT VANTERM | GCT GLOBAL CONTAINER TERMINALS INC. |
The carriers on the Airlift routes publish the port on their schedules, not the terminal, so none of the terminals above is marked as called. Ask us and we’ll confirm the terminal for your booking.

Nearby ports you could ship through instead
If space, a cut-off or the rate at Vancouver doesn’t work, these nearby ports on the Airlift routes are worth a look.
No other port on the Airlift routes is close enough to Vancouver to load the same cargo.

Where this data comes from
Sailing dates, ships and port calls come from the carriers’ own published schedules and cover departures in the next four weeks; your browser checks the schedule feed again each time you open a page. A carrier service or a ship gets its own page once it has appeared on at least three of those sailings. Transit times labeled “Airlift history” are the typical range on Airlift’s own shipments on that lane. Sea lines on the maps are schematic, not exact tracks.
The carriers’ schedules don’t include berth or dwell times, so this page doesn’t show them. The terminal list comes from the SMDG Terminal Code List and the time zone from the port’s coordinates; neither tells you which terminal a given ship will use. Schedules published as of Sep 18, method checked Sep 18. For planning only. Schedules, routings and ship assignments change without notice, so confirm with your carrier or with Airlift before you book. Nothing on these pages is a rate, a guarantee of space or a guaranteed transit time.
