New tug brings big news to remote port of Prince Rupert, B.C.

摘要

The Port of Prince Rupert has long boasted of being several hundred miles closer, via the Great Circle Route, to the principle Asian ports than other North American ports. This rugged and remote seaport, located just above the 54th parallel of latitude is blessed with geographic advantages. Prince Rupert is said to be the deepest ice-free natural harbor on the continent, and it is linked to a vast railway network, as well as being the western terminus of the Trans-Canada Highway. It also has easy access to the Pacific Ocean, being situated just inside the Dixon Entrance to the famed Inside Passage on the northern British Columbia coast.
