The Port of Vancouver is Canada’s largest and busiest port, with 28 terminals and nearly 35,000 workers handling hundreds of thousands of vehicle shipments and cruise passengers each year, along with millions of cargo containers.

Big machinery meets old school brawn as workers struggle with broken equipment, a punishing schedule and busloads of passengers.
