HOLIDAY CLOSURE – MEMORIAL DAY, MON. MAY 26 – The Port of Vancouver USA will be closed for receipt and delivery of cargo on Monday, May 26 in observance of Memorial Day. Vessel activity will not be interrupted. The administrative office will also be closed.
Ever been curious about what goes on at the Port of Vancouver USA? Ever wonder how nearly 100,000 Subarus get from ship to land every year? If so, join us for a free port tour. We’re always excited to welcome guests to the port and show our neighbors around.
Tours are slightly modified this year due to a planned renovation of the port’s main administration building. Guests will board a bus for a behind-the-scenes tour of the marine terminals and industrial centers that make the Port of Vancouver a major economic engine in Southwest Washington.
You’ll hear about the port’s history, learn what makes a marine terminal tick and find out how over 6 million metric tons of cargo moves in and out of the port every year. You might even catch a glimpse of mobile harbor cranes, trains filled with grain and other imports and exports on the move.
Port tours are open to the public by reservation and run this summer and early fall. Anyone who wants to learn about how our river system works, how trains and ships move cargo and hear more about our industrial tenants should sign up. To get on our emailing list for early notification of future port tours, email your contact information to rsvp@portvanusa.com.
Tours last approximately one hour.
All 2025 tour dates are now full. Please join our waitlist by emailing RSVP@portvanusa.com or calling 360-693-3611.
