Once a coal-mining settlement, military base and British Columbia's last whaling station until 1967, Coal Harbour now serves as a fishing and recreational marine hub on Quatsino Sound, northern Vancouver Island. The harbour launches charter and sport vessels toward the salmon and halibut grounds of the sound, and a dock expansion supports the local fishing industry rather than commercial freight. It has no container or general-cargo terminal, and customs cargo clearance here is not confirmed. Forwarders moving boxes or breakbulk rely on Port Hardy nearby for limited needs and on Nanaimo or Vancouver for mainstream cargo.
