None of the 80 vessels our AIS feed observed within 25 nm of New Westminster between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026 broadcast an IMO number on the OFAC, EU, UK or UN sanctions list today. The feed saw only part of the traffic, so this does not mean no listed vessel called here. The feed has delivered no positions since 5 Aug 2026, so these figures will not change until it resumes.

Between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026, ArcNautical's AIS feed observed 80 distinct vessels at New Westminster, with Towing making up 34% of those with a ship-type code — higher than the East Pacific regional average of 22%. New Westminster in Canada sits along the western coast of the Americas, where commercial shipping operates against a backdrop of seismic, volcanic, and ENSO-driven weather hazards. The Pacific Ring of Fire generates significant seismic and volcanic activity along the entire coast; Chile and Peru experience major earthquakes with sufficient frequency that seismic risk is material for both port infrastructure and voyage planning. The Panama Canal — the key chokepoint connecting the eastern Pacific with the Caribbean and Atlantic — has faced drought-related transit restrictions that limit vessel draft and daily transit capacity, forcing some operators to route via the Strait of Magellan or Cape Horn. El Niño/La Niña cycles produce sustained shifts in storm tracks and sea states.
Routed sea distances from New Westminster to the principal global hubs, computed by ArcNautical's routing engine — around land and through the canals a ship actually uses, not great-circle.

Canada is a multi-MoU jurisdiction (its port states participate in more than one regional PSC programme). Vessel-level detention probability for calls at New Westminster is computed by ArcNautical's scoring engine using flag performance, vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity rather than a regional aggregate.
