One of the Fraser River Port Authority's primary duties is to supervise the harbour. It is a complex physical environment with many users and stakeholders. The Port Authority endeavours to ensure the safety of everyone using the harbour through:

• regular channel maintenance
• harbour patrol
• emergency planning and response

The Port Authority also manages – and to some degree regulates – activity in the harbour through a variety of guidelines and procedures. Broad selections of these documents are provided here:

• Port Operations Manual: Practices and Procedures for Fraser River Port
• Technical Specifications Handbook

Regulations for port users have been set out in the Canada Marine Act and the Port Authority's Letters Patent.  See Legislation for more details.
