Maritime Security Challenges: Safeguarding Vancouver’s Ports and Shipping Yards

Vancouver is home to one of the busiest and most strategic port systems in North America. As a critical hub for international trade, Vancouver’s ports and shipping yards handle millions of tons of cargo annually. But with this vital activity comes an increased risk of security threats, from cargo theft to organized crime and potential acts of terrorism. Maritime security has never been more essential — and Safeguard Security is leading the charge.

The Complexity of Securing Maritime Infrastructure

Maritime infrastructure poses unique challenges due to its vast size, high traffic volume, and international nature. Multiple stakeholders — shipping companies, customs, government agencies, and private enterprises — interact daily within these environments, making coordination and transparency critical.

At the same time, ports are vulnerable to a wide range of risks, including:

• Cargo theft and smuggling
• Unauthorized access and insider threats
• Terrorist targeting and sabotage
• Cyberattacks on port logistics systems
• Worker safety and hazardous materials incidents
