Carrier services calling Vancouver
A carrier service is a carrier’s fixed loop of port calls, such as Hapag-Lloyd’s IEX. Read from the stops of the published sailings: a service counts as calling here when a sailing loads, transships or discharges at Vancouver on it. Services with their own page were seen on at least 3 sailings.
| Service | Carrier | Calls | Loading | Transshipment | Discharge |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WC3 | Hapag-Lloyd | 5 | — | — | 5 |
Scheduled arrivals and departures at Vancouver
Every arrival and departure at Vancouver on the published sailings, as published on Sep 7. Arrivals name the ship that sails in, departures the ship that sails out. The same physical call published by several carriers or on several routes is one row. Dates are the carrier's published schedule and change without notice.

The count is scheduled calls at Vancouver. Ships with a page were named on at least 3 published sailings.
Local time at Vancouver
Cut-offs, gate hours and the carrier's office all run on the port's clock, so check it before you promise a delivery date.
Source: IANA time zone database, the zone that covers the port itself, so the offset follows daylight saving; the clock reads from your own device.
Container terminals at Vancouver
The terminals a container ship can be worked at here, so you know which gate a trucker goes to and which terminal code to quote on a booking. Which one your ship uses is set by the carrier on the booking, not by the port.
| Code | Terminal | Operator |
|---|---|---|
| CTM | CENTENNIAL TERMINAL (CENTERM) | DP WORLD VANCOUVER |
| FSD | FRASER SURREY DOCKS | FRASER SURREY DOCKS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP |
| DLT | GCT DELTAPORT | GCT GLOBAL CONTAINER TERMINALS INC. |
| VTM | GCT VANTERM | GCT GLOBAL CONTAINER TERMINALS INC. |
The carriers on the Airlift routes publish the port on their schedules, not the terminal, so no terminal above is marked as called. Ask us and we will confirm the terminal on your booking.

Nearby ports you could ship through instead
Ports near Vancouver that Airlift also books, worth a look when space, a cut-off or a rate at Vancouver does not work.
No other port on the Airlift routes is close enough to Vancouver to load the same cargo.

Where this data comes from
Sailing dates, ships and port calls come from the carriers’ own published schedules for departures in the next four weeks, and your browser asks the schedule feed again when you open a page. A carrier service or a ship gets its own page once it has appeared on at least three of those sailings. Transit times labelled “Airlift history” are the typical range on Airlift’s own shipments for that lane, and the sea lines on the maps are schematic.
Berth time and dwell time are not in the carriers' schedules and are not shown. The terminal list is the SMDG Terminal Code List and the time zone comes from the port's coordinates; neither says which terminal a given ship will work at. Schedules published as of Sep 7, method checked Sep 7. Provided for planning only. Schedules, routings and ship assignments change without notice; confirm with your carrier or with Airlift before booking. Nothing on these pages is a rate, a guarantee of space or a guaranteed transit time.
