Terminal 4 Berth 10: Auto Dock

1,040-foot floating auto dock
Dock Height: 15 feet
Berth Depth: 40 feet (mlw)*

The floating auto dock, cargo staging area and leased auto processing facility was completed in 1995. It is a fully modern facility capable of high volume unloading, sorting and staging. The first major user of the facility, Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) signed an initial 5-year contract with the Port in 1992. The facility functioned so well that the Port of Vancouver, USA, was Subaru's sole port of entry in the United States until increases in U.S. demand deemed an East Coast facility necessary. SOA, headquartered in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, is a subsidiary of Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd. of Japan.

Subaru controls a 30,000 square-foot auto processing warehouse and 40-acre cargo backup area for its operations. They set the pace in vehicle processing with a continuous commitment to quality, state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, a strong management team with extensive automotive experience, and a well-trained, motivated workforce dedicated to customer satisfaction.

Auto Warehousing Company (AWC) serves as Subaru's auto processor preparing vehicles for transfer via truck or rail to auto dealerships.
