I live in Nanaimo, and we regularly have container ships “parked” in our harbour, awaiting clearance to dock and unload in the commercial harbours.

96 vessels have arrived in last 24 hours,
and 59 are expected to arrive in next 30 days

What is the typical number, say from this time last year?

We shall see in the coming months just how much traffic is diverted from Seattle to Vancouver.
