As of my knowledge cutoff in October 2021, there isn't a known marine port specifically named "REAL" in Canada. It's possible that it might be a smaller, private, or newly established port not widely recognized or it could be an acronym or a miscommunication.

However, here are descriptions and specifications for a few of Canada's major and significant marine ports:

    • Annual Throughput: Over 3.4 million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) with a significant volume of bulk cargoes like grain, coal, and petroleum products.

If you can provide more details or clarify if "REAL" stands for a specific region, acronym, or any additional specifics, I can provide more accurate information!
