At the head of North Bentinck Arm on British Columbia's central coast, Bella Coola is where Highway 20 meets the sea after a 456 km run from Williams Lake. Its government wharf anchors a community port that, from June to September, is served by BC Ferries' seasonal Discovery Coast route to Port Hardy aboard a combined freight-and-passenger vessel. The area is supplied by this ferry and by coastal barge, with local cargo activity built around regional needs and fishing rather than containers. International liner or container traffic is not handled here. Prince Rupert, Port Hardy or Vancouver are the appropriate ports for that kind of freight.
