What this board is
A desk reference for berth depth, LOA, beam, loader type, and public peak load rates on Vancouver-area sulfur loadports. PCT Berth 2 is the sulfur/potash berth; Berth 1 is liquids and is shown only to prevent mix-ups.
What it is not
Not AIS cargo filtering, not a Sultran/VFPA sailing schedule, and not a live stem list. PCT points charterers to vessel-tracking sites and a live webcam; those tools show presence, not sulfur vs potash vs other dry bulk.
Documents to pull before fixing
PCT Terminal Operations lists Vessel Guidelines (March 2026), berth soundings, approach channel appendices, sulphur/potash ship-shore checklist, and berthage/tariff PDFs. Reconfirm draught tables and Marsec level with the terminal.
Macro stem context
Port of Vancouver sulfur exports: about 3.10 Mt (2023), 3.35 Mt (2024), 3.51 Mt (2025) per VFPA Statistics Overview. Destination mix and inland remelt/forming set how often Berth 2 sees sulfur versus potash.
