    Port of Vancouver USA

    Washington
    West

    Overview

    The Port of Vancouver USA is a pivotal deep-water port situated along the Columbia River in Vancouver, Washington. Established in 1912, it is the furthest-inland deep-water port on the Columbia, just 106 miles from the Pacific Ocean. With five marine terminals and 13 berths, the port handles a diverse array of cargo, including automobiles (notably imports like Subaru vehicles), bulk grains, steel slabs, wind energy components, liquid bulk, dry bulk, break bulk, and project cargo. The port is uniquely equipped with some of the largest mobile harbor cranes in North America, making it specially suited for handling high, wide, and heavy (HWH) cargo, including oversized wind turbine components. It serves as a strategic Pacific Rim gateway, offering multimodal transportation connections via major interstate highways and Class 1 railroads (BNSF and Union Pacific), giving shippers access to domestic and international markets across Asia, Europe, and beyond. The port’s 500+ acres of developed industrial and marine land further strengthen its role in supporting the supply chain needs of varied industries throughout the region.
