Record cargo volumes were shipped out of Canada’s West Coast in 2025, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority said in a report released Monday, with grain, crude oil and potash products leading the way.

Exports of crude oil moving through the port in 2025 increased 95 per cent from the year before to reach 24.4 million metric tonnes (MMT), and crude oil volumes increased the most among all other types of exported products.
