The Port Alberni Transshipment Hub (PATH)
PATH is a proposed next-generation marine logistics hub that would create a Pacific gateway using a hub-and-spoke model for container distribution. With planned capacity of up to 5 million TEUs annually and CapEx of US$1.5-1.8 billion, the project aims to improve supply chain efficiency, resilience and cargo movement through Western Canada.

How BuildAtlas reads this record
The Port Alberni Transshipment Hub is a British Columbia marine-logistics proposal. It is a useful Pacific trade lens because the value sits in the connection between inland cargo, transshipment, terminal capacity, and shipping schedules rather than in the port asset alone.
What to keep in view
- Requires: deep water port capacity, marine logistics, rail and road logistics.
- Dependencies: inland cargo, marine terminal, shipping demand.
- Open constraints: permitting, financing, anchor cargo.
What this page does not establish
A source-described stage, capital figure, or proposed capability is not the same as completed construction, committed financing, operating output, or guaranteed delivery. BuildAtlas keeps those distinctions visible.
