The complex web of global trade and supply chain logistics practically hums with technical innovation. But sometimes, something as simple as a suburban stoplight, a prairie snowstorm, or traffic congestion can threaten to bring the entire global system to a standstill, creating what industry insiders commonly call a “bottleneck.” In this new podcast series, we’ll break these bottlenecks open by exploring the intricacies, infrastructure and innovations that connect Canada’s businesses and communities with the world, as seen through the inner workings of the Port of Vancouver, Canada’s largest port, and those who rely on it.

Trains, grain and snow
Because it is a perishable commodity, the orderly movement of grain is mandated by the federal government in Canada. Unfortunately, that movement is often hampered by snowfall or extreme cold. In this episode, we’ll hear about the intricate challenges and novel solutions that affect the vital flow of grain through snowy passes, into terminals, onto ships, and across the water to customers abroad.
