Tanker Traffic in <strong>Canada</strong> (2014)<br />

Density maps were generated from accumulated AIS data on tanker positions in Canadian and some U.S. waters during 2014. The location and intensity of the red markings indicate overall vessel<br />

movement patterns and concentrations. Tankers include asphalt/bitumen tankers, crude oil tankers, chemical tankers, liquefied gas tankers, and others (<strong>Marine</strong>Traffic, n.d.-c). Blue circles mark top<br />

Canadian ports by tonnage (based on 2011 data).
