BC Coast Pilots: Keeping the Global Supply Chain Moving

By BCCP

The BC Coast Pilots continue to enhance global trade through Pilotage on the west coast. In these challenging times, trade by sea remains essential and a more efficient way to keep the global supply chain moving. Pilots are working around the clock despite the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure the flow of critical goods in Canada and globally. The BC Coast Pilots move all foreign ships coming in or out of BC’s ports for environmental protection, safety, and efficiency. To better share what Pilots are doing now, check out these great shots!
