Scheduled Year-round Deliveries
The only Canadian registered oil tanker working along BC’s central coast, the Central Coaster, our treasured 150-foot double-hulled landing craft tanker, has a long history in coastal waters. The tanker plays a critical role in maintaining marine access to essential goods in remote communities.
This shallow-ramp barge is able to access remote communities in shallow water and can even unload cargo on a beach. Its 100-foot telescopic boom pedestal crane offers a 15-tonne lifting capacity.
Residents, essential service providers, fishing and logging camps, outpost stores, research centers, tree-planting sites, hatcheries and construction crews rely on our scheduled biweekly deliveries of groceries, fuel, equipment and other essentials.
Our tanker is based in Port Hardy with scheduled trips covering the south-central coast, central coast and central-north coast. Some of the freight and cargo the Central Coaster is certified and equipped to carry includes:
Construction equipment, including road work and logging equipment
Refrigerated and frozen foods
Fuel, including propane, Avgas and Jet A fuels
Dangerous goods
Freight
Industrial machinery
