About the Chamber of Shipping:
Established in 1923, the Chamber of Shipping has long served as the unified voice for the international marine transportation industry, moving cargo and passengers to and from the west coast of Canada.

Their membership primarily consists of ocean carriers, essential contributors to global supply chains, that transport goods and materials across the world’s oceans in a cost-effective, energy-efficient manner.

On behalf of their members, they advocate for a responsible and competitive shipping sector that prioritizes environmental sustainability and operational efficiencies. Both within Canada and globally, their members are dedicated to ensure safe passage for its crew and cargo, while reducing environmental impacts and increasing efficiency.
