Coastland Wood Industries has partnered with Sarlequun Transport Inc. to launch a new integrated back-haul barge and trucking service connecting the Lower Mainland to Vancouver Island, starting July 13, 2026. The service offers a streamlined process for shipping lumber and other approved cargo from Annacis Island Marine Terminal to Duke Point Marine Terminal, including seamless “final mile” delivery anywhere on Vancouver Island. The partnership builds on Coastland’s more than 30-year relationship with Snuneymuxw First Nation (SFN). Operating within SFN’s unceded traditional territory, the collaboration is designed to create meaningful employment and economic opportunities for Nation members while offering customers a cost-effective, reliable shipping alternative.
