About This Seaport
Shippers hunting for a container berth on southern Vancouver Island will not find one at Victoria Harbour (CA VIC): the natural harbour handles cruise, ferry and floatplane traffic, with 331 cruise calls by 35 vessels from 17 lines scheduled for the 2026 season. Transport Canada and the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority (GVHA) operate the port, including the Ogden Point deep-water terminal. Commercial container or breakbulk handling is not confirmed here and is effectively negligible; CBSA clearance at the harbour is geared to passengers rather than to ocean freight. In early 2026 the GVHA withdrew from plans to install shore power at Ogden Point, citing prohibitive cost. Cargo for Vancouver Island instead moves through Duke Point in Nanaimo, roughly 110 km north by road, where DP World is extending the berth from 182 to 325 metres and lifting capacity to 280,000 TEU a year. The linked Salish Sea Gateway barge service is due to connect Duke Point with Vancouver from mid-2026, taking containers off the truck-and-ferry route. Ship repair remains the area's other commercial strength, at the nearby Esquimalt Graving Dock, which takes vessels up to Panamax size.
