Details

This system uses machine learning to forecast when cargo vessels will arrive at the Port of Vancouver. It was developed as a pilot project by Transport Canada in 2024 to improve operational planning visibility. The system processed aggregate vessel registry data and its outputs were used by Government of Canada employees — not the general public. The project has since been retired.
