Coastal Gateway Port

What Coastal Gateway Port does

Coastal Gateway Port is a British Columbia-based port developer and operator offering clean ship building, repair, and recycling services alongside a multi-modal cargo and freight logistics platform. The company operates seven core product lines: air cargo, sea freight, road transport, customs clearance, warehousing and distribution, supply chain solutions, and clean ship building, repair and recycling. Its shipyard operations are anchored at Union Bay Shipyards, which has been building, repairing, and dismantling vessels and marine infrastructure components since 2020, providing an operational site with existing marine access, infrastructure, and a skilled workforce. The headquarters is registered in Edmonton, Alberta.

The company's technical and operational approach is centered on environmental protection and regulatory alignment. Its clean ship building model incorporates containment infrastructure, water quality monitoring, and hazardous-waste recovery systems designed to exceed federal Canadian and EU Ship Recycling Regulation standards. Coastal Gateway positions itself as a strategic facilitator linking industry, Indigenous partners, and federal/provincial government to design a unified coastal shipbuilding, repair, and recycling corridor, targeting an addressable market of more than 900 aging vessels in B.C. waters — including approximately 100 vessels over 500 tonnes nearing end of life — with current dismantling capacity limited to the over-subscribed Esquimalt Graving Dock.

Coastal Gateway operates as a B2B professional services provider with quote-based, project-specific pricing. Its go-to-market is built on direct enterprise engagement with major ship operators (B.C. Ferries and Seaspan), coordinated partnerships with First Nations communities for employment and economic development, and federal-provincial alignment under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and Transport Canada's Ship Recycling Strategy. The company is expanding geographically from Union Bay to Port Alberni and is preparing to go public with Price Waterhouse Coopers as financial advisor. No revenue, headcount, or contract values are publicly disclosed.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• ESCO Marine: One of the largest ship recycling operators in the U.S. Gulf (Brownsville, TX). Directly comparable as a high-throughput, environmentally regulated vessel dismantling yard targeting the same global pool of end-of-life tonnage that Coastal Gateway is pursuing.
• International Shipbreaking Ltd. (Bay Bridge Enterprises): Major U.S. Gulf coast ship recycler and scrap processor. Comparable to Coastal Gateway's recycling-led business model, competing for the same end-of-life commercial vessel tonnage and competing on environmental compliance standards.
• All Star Metals: Ship recycling and metal reclamation operator. Closely comparable circular-economy approach to Coastal Gateway's recycling and metals-recovery proposition.
• Marine Salvage & Services: U.S. Gulf coast vessel dismantling and salvage operator. Comparable facility footprint and end-of-life commercial vessel focus to Coastal Gateway's Union Bay yard.

Broad incumbents

• Port of Vancouver (Vancouver Fraser Port Authority): Canada's largest port, operating marine terminals across cargo, bulk, and container segments. Comparable as a port operator and terminal infrastructure steward in the same British Columbia coastal ecosystem as Coastal Gateway.
• Irving Shipbuilding (Halifax Shipyard): Canada's largest shipyard operator under the National Shipbuilding Strategy. Comparable as a federally aligned Canadian shipyard but at much greater scale, building combat and large commercial vessels rather than recycling end-of-life tonnage.
• Seaspan Marine: West coast marine services, shipyards (Vancouver, Victoria), and vessel operator. Overlaps with Coastal Gateway on British Columbia coastal ship repair, with whom Coastal Gateway is also partnering on the recycling pipeline.

Others

• Stena Recycling: Global ship recycling and circular metals group operating yards in Europe and Turkey. Not a direct Canada competitor, but the EU regulatory benchmark Coastal Gateway cites; comparable as an established global recycler with mature environmental compliance operations.
• Veolia Environmental Services: Global environmental services and hazardous-waste management provider with marine end-of-life vessel offerings. Comparable as an enabling environmental compliance partner or competitor in regulated vessel recycling, though broader in scope.

Emerging players

• Verity Maritime: Emerging Canadian marine services and decommissioning specialist focused on vessel lifecycle and end-of-life solutions. Comparable as a Canadian emerging player in the same regulatory and market space as Coastal Gateway's recycling proposition.
