oil tankers anchored outside Vancouver, Canada


Another of the major commodities handled by this port.  The question of how to transport oil from Alberta,Canada, south of the border is the subject of some controversy at present with a new pipeline promoted by the Canadians, but Americans have reservations about it, not least because it is oil from tar sands and requires a lot more refining than normal crude oil.  Transporting it by rail seems the best option to us.
