As of January 1, 2008, the new Vancouver Fraser Port Authority takes over as the new entity, replacing the Vancouver Port Authority, the Fraser River Port Authority and the North Fraser Port Authority. More information will be forthcoming.

The Fraser River Port Authority is a federally mandated port authority operating under the Canada Marine Act. It administers Fraser Port, a major deep-sea port located on the main arm of the Fraser River, downstream from Kanaka Creek and Pitt Lake to the Strait of Georgia. The purpose of the Port is to facilitate economic development and trade.

Under one name or another, the Port Authority has been the custodian of Fraser Port since 1913. At present, its functions are to administer property within its jurisdiction, which includes land covered by water as well as some upland sites, overseeing the harbour and maintaining the channel, facilitating international trade through its marine terminals, and providing environmental stewardship.

Fraser River Port Authority and FREMP
The Fraser River Port Authority is one on two ports on the Fraser River. The Fraser Port's jurisdiction runs from the sandheads on the main and south arms of the Fraser River, up to the mouth of Pitt Lake and up to the mouth of Kanaka Creek.

The Fraser Port is a responsible agency under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA).

The Fraser Port plays an active part on a variety of committees within FREMP, including the Steering Committee, the Management Committee and other technical and assessment committees.
