By the deal, the Port leased nearly 130,000 ft2 (12080 m2) of land and water areas at Nanaimo Harbour. Here will be homeported 15 response vessels with up to 35 full-time personnel. The 1976-founded WCMRC (Transport Canada-certified company) protects British Columbia's coastal waters from marine spills. The project included the extension of Seaspan's water lot by 130 ft/40 m and the addition of two new drydocks (smaller) plus a floating pontoon, located to the west of the old drydocks.

Nanaimo is approx 40 mi (65 km) from Vancouver BC (across Strait of Georgia), approx 100 mi (160 km) north of Victoria BC (Vancouver Island) and approx 195 mi (315 km) north of Seattle WA (USA). As volumes of Canadian trade moving through the Port of Vancouver grow, it becomes more critical for ships to be able to move smoothly and safely through our waters. We’re always working to improve transparency and operational planning support for port users.
The port has 28 marine terminals serving Ro-Ro ships (car carriers), break-bulk and bulk carriers, container ships and cruise vessels. Nanaimo is directly linked with Vancouver via BC Ferries, served by dedicated terminals in Departure Bay and Duke Point. Smaller ferries offer regularly scheduled service to and from several smaller islands. The city's airport YCD provides regularly (delete) daily flights to the USA and (delete as incorrect) mainland locations including Vancouver YVR and Calgary YYC.
Vancouver is the only homeport with both one-way and round-trip itineraries through Canada’s Inside Passage. Vancouver is the largest city in the province of British Columbia and the turnaround port for many Alaskan cruises. It looks like a commercial dock after its 1995 renovation and extensions. Amenities include luggage carts, restrooms, snack concessions, security and taxi ranks. In May 2015, Canada Place Vancouver became the world's first cruise terminal with a total of 10x BorderXpress APC kiosks (abbrev "Automated Passport Control"). The project was a collaboration of Port Metro Vancouver and the Vancouver Airport Authority.
On May 23 was celebrated port's 25 millionth arriving cruise ship tourist. Port's largest liner so far is NCL's Norwegian Bliss (capacity 4200 passengers). NCL Bliss departed from Vancouver (Oct 1, 5-day repositioning cruise) to Los Angeles via San Francisco. Port's 1 millionth cruise passenger mark was reached in 2002 (1, million). Port Nanaimo has 2 terminal facilities - at Assembly Wharf (close to downtown) and at Duke Point (serving cargo shipping operations). The port provides free of charge golf carts for transportation of passengers with disabilities between the berthed ship and the cruise terminal.
