The Port plays a crucial role in driving economic growth on Vancouver Island through strategic initiatives focused on trade, tourism, and community engagement: - Facilitating Trade and Export: The port is committed to enhancing trade and export capabilities, providing local, regional, provincial, and national businesses with greater access to global markets. - Short Sea Shipping: By advancing short sea shipping, NPA supports sustainable transportation solutions that strengthen connectivity and economic resilience. - Duke Point Expansion Project: The Duke Point expansion is set to significantly increase goods movement, capacity, efficiency, and emergency preparedness. The expansion will generate economic opportunities and create new jobs for the region. - Tourism Development: The port is actively growing its cruise business by welcoming more ships back to Nanaimo, boosting tourism and showcasing the natural beauty and cultural richness of our Island communities. These efforts contribute significantly to the region's economic vitality. - Community Engagement: The port team is dedicated to fostering partnerships and initiatives that promote education, job creation, and environmental stewardship, reinforcing our commitment to the community, stakeholders, and First Nation partners.
