Certainly! However, it seems there might be a slight confusion. Vancouver is actually a city in Canada, not the United States, and it has one of the largest and busiest ports in North America, known as the Port of Vancouver. If you meant Vancouver, Washington, in the United States, that city also has a smaller but significant port. Below are detailed descriptions and specifications for both:
