The 33.5-metre-high ship-to-shore crane that weighs 1,037 tonnes appeared to sheer off as a container ship called the Ever Summit hits it around 4 a.m. PT on Monday.

Containers stacked at the Vancouver port on Jan. 28, 2019 (Tristan LeRudlier/CBC News)Fallon said that the Vanterm terminal is the main terminal for container loading and unloading at the Vancouver port.
