About the port

Since 1912, the Port of Vancouver USA has been an economic engine and job creator in Washington state. Located 100 miles up the Columbia River from the Pacific Ocean on a 43-foot, deep-draft shipping channel, the Port of Vancouver USA is a premier shipping gateway for the United States and Canada.

Our strategic location at the nexus of two interstate highways and a continent-spanning rail network allows shippers to and from Asia and South America to bypass the facility traffic and road congestion of other West Coast ports to achieve superior transit times with less hassle, cargo damage, and waiting.

The port has five marine terminals and 11 berths that handle more than 400 ocean-going vessels and river barges annually, with total cargo volume over 8 million metric tons.
