Port of Prince Rupert plan outlines future expansion (5/15/2019)
5/15/2024The Prince Rupert Port Authority earlier this week completed a master plan for expanding container terminal capacity and development at the Port of Prince Rupert in British Columbia, Canada.
Completed in partnership with AECOM, the plan identifies the long-term potential to develop 6 million to 7 million 20-foot equivalent unit (TEU) capacity by developing multiple terminals at the port, authority officials said in a press release.
The plan identified the potential for a second 2.5 million-TEU capacity container terminal at the port’s South Kaien Island site. The site would be the port’s next phase of development, officials said.
The plan also determined the potential for additional expansion of the existing Fairview Terminal, which is undergoing expansion by DP World. The current project will increase the container terminal’s current capacity from 1.35 million TEUs to 1.8 million TEUs by 2020.
