Foreign Trade Zone - Vancouver Island
Did you know Vancouver Island is a Foreign Trade Zone? Local, Provincial, National, and International shippers can benefit directly from associated trade zone advantages by utilizing Vancouver Island port facilities to move their products and goods. A direct IRC rail link between Vancouver Island and North American rail networks will play a crucial role in maximizing this trade zone status by providing seamless end-to-end benefits to shippers both on and off Vancouver Island, importing, exporting, and moving their products anywhere. IRC is a member of the Vancouver Island Economic Alliance (VIEA) and you can view our profile at viea.ca/author/islandrail
Statement From IRC Managing Director Alex Stuart
As a member of Vancouver Island’s Foreign Trade Zone working committee, we wholeheartedly support its vision and the role contemporary rail has to offer. Rebuilding the Vancouver Island Railway network will establish cost-efficient transportation for both domestic and International cargo while meeting Net Zero Climate Action goals.
