Which type of ports are classified as Remote ports?
For the purposes of the Ports in the Pacific Region, remote ports are defined as those where:

  • Marine transport is the primary mode of transportation for the movement of people and goods for at least some portion of the year;
  • there is a dependence specifically on the existing Transport Canada fixed wharf structure, alongside which vessels can tie up safely; and
  • the community is not connected by a road network to another site with a wharf and/or not connected to a major centre by year-round surface means or regular air service.
