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.
