The Motion of Industry – A Glimpse into Vancouver’s Port at Night

Nighttime at the Port of Vancouver reveals a hidden world of motion and industry. In this photo, I aimed to capture the essence of that movement—the powerful cranes tirelessly working to unload the massive ships that bring goods from across the world. Using an extended shutter speed, I wanted to convey the seamless flow of operations, with the streaks of light illustrating the crane’s steady…

Environmental news from BC, Canada, 16 July.

Drought conditions in British Columbia are worsening, with unprecedented levels of drought observed early in the season, emphasizing the need for water conservation.

2. British Columbia has requested 1,000 additional international firefighters to help combat the province's wildfires.

The Canadian government is prepared to deploy resources, including military assistance, to support firefighting efforts in B.C.

The province is experiencing a severe fire season, with over 350 wildfires burning, and is looking for more firefighting support, particularly air equipment.

3. British Columbia and Alberta have contrasting policies on coal mining, with B.C. continuing coal mining in the Rocky Mountains while Alberta restricted it due to environmental concerns.

Alberta's shift away from coal mining in the 1970s was influenced by the emergence of an environmental movement and the rise of the oil industry in the province.

B.C.'s support for the metallurgical coal industry and the failed plan to make every resident a shareholder in a coal company contributed to the continuation of coal mining in the province's Rockies.

4. Metallurgical coal, also known as coking coal, is a high-quality coal used in steelmaking that emits significant greenhouse gases during the production process.

British Columbia is a major producer of metallurgical coal, with stringent regulations and high-quality reserves, making it a trusted source in the industry.

While demand for metallurgical coal is expected to decline in the future due to the development of greener alternatives like hydrogen, the industry continues to play a significant role in steel production worldwide.

5. The Port of Vancouver is the busiest coal export terminal in North America and exports large amounts of both metallurgical and thermal coal.

Coal exports from the Port of Vancouver contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and may lead to increased shipping traffic and potential environmental damage.

More on thermal coal here and here. In brief:

The B.C. government saw record revenue from coal exports in 2022, which facilitated social spending.

Canadian thermal coal exports continue to rise due to demand from Asian countries, despite global efforts to phase out coal production. Asian countries are still building coal plants and relying on Canadian thermal coal for its high energy output and supply diversification.

The market for coal is expected to shrink in the coming years as global commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions increase.

The provincial government is promoting its CleanBC plan to lower emissions while simultaneously projecting lower revenue in the short term as natural resource prices are expected to fall. The government is also working on a trade diversification strategy.

The colors are "Seussian" , the message is not. Almost the whole of the Burrard is blocked, from Crab Park to Brighton. From there it used to be Penzance Road next I think, but now that's Port Authority. I intend to continue exploring more of the restrictions.

News from BC, 11 July

The Morningstar Golf Club in Parksville is hosting the B.C. Men's Amateur Golf Championship, showcasing a diverse field of players from different age groups and backgrounds.

Winning this tournament can significantly boost a golfer's reputation and potentially qualify them for the provincial team at the Canadian Men's Amateur Golf Championship.

The event not only signifies the financial stability of the Morningstar Golf Club but also brings economic benefits to the local community through increased tourism and patronage of hotels and restaurants.

2. The police are seeking information on two unidentified individuals believed to be involved in a house fire in Nanaimo.

The property where the fire occurred has been a source of concern for residents due to illegal squatting and drug use.

Despite the damage from the fire, two other people in the house were accounted for and unharmed.

3. The strike by 7,400 members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada has halted all cargo handling at the Port of Vancouver and several other ports in British Columbia.

4. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in Vilnius, Lithuania, today for the NATO leaders’ annual summit.
