Significant Truck Activity at Vancouver Port
The trucking disruption is affecting the movement of containers by truck to and from Port Metro Vancouver’s four container terminals. In general, 70% of containers arrive and depart Port Metro Vancouver container terminals by rail and 30% by truck. Following yesterday’s clear actions by Canada, B.C. and Port Metro Vancouver to protect the economy, we are seeing significant truck activity at Port Metro Vancouver terminals. The volume of container truck transactions on March 20, 2014 was nearly 40% of normal. It is the highest level since the trucking disruption began.
Port Metro Vancouver Placed on 'Green 30' List
Port Metro Vancouver joins the 2012 “Green 30” list of Canadian organizations whose employees are most positive about environmental stewardship. The list, compiled by Aon Hewitt, is based on employee opinion data collected as part of the annual Best Employers in Canada study and Best Small and Medium Employers study. Over 190,000 employees and 2,500 leaders in 280 organizations participated in the 2013 edition of these studies. “We are very honoured to be named to the Green 30 list, as it recognizes our employees’ support of the sustainability and environmental programs that we have been implementing,” said Darrell Desjardin, Director of Environmental Programs at Port Metro Vancouver.
