Port Metro Vancouver and CN in collaboration deal

Port Metro Vancouver and CN have reached a supply chain collaboration agreement to drive further efficiencies at the port and recognise the importance of balanced accountability.

The agreement sets the framework for the Port, CN and port stakeholders to develop mechanisms to define, measure, monitor and evaluate the performance of each participant at the port against established benchmarks.

It also establishes processes to proactively communicate on service-related matters and resolve disputes between CN, the port and port supply chain participants on a commercial basis.

Port Metro Vancouver and CN believe that supply chain collaboration is the best way to help increase Canada's commerce with the Asia-Pacific region, enlarge the gateway's share of Asian containerised imports to North America, and improve gateway competitiveness for Canadian and North American exports.

Port Metro Vancouver is Canada's largest and North America's most diversified port.
