March 8th saw the arrival of the first Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC) from Europe into the Port of Nanaimo. The cars will be offloaded and prepared to send to vehicle dealerships on Vancouver Island and the lower mainland, eventually expanding throughout western Canada.
Nanaimo was selected as it provides direct short-sea connections to the Lower Mainland, as European Automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are experiencing significant capacity constraints and other issues elsewhere.
