Recorded under UN/LOCODE CA BAM, Bamberton sits on the Saanich Inlet of Vancouver Island, about 45 km north of Victoria, British Columbia, and today has limited commercial freight relevance. Its deep-water pier was built from 1912 to serve the Associated (later B.C.) Cement Company works, which closed in 1980; the site has not operated as a loading port since. The location was chosen for the deep water of the inlet, which allowed cement to be shipped by sea. For container, breakbulk or bulk cargo in the region, shippers use Victoria, Nanaimo or the Port of Vancouver.
