The Prince Rupert Container Terminal Development - Phase 2
The vision of the future includes the expansion of the Prince Rupert Container Terminal to quadruple the capacity of the facility to 2 million TEUs by 2012. The project will extend the wharf to 800 metres, achieve an 18 metre (59 feet) minimum water depth, increase the dock area to 56 hectares (139 acres), and quadruple to eight the number of post-panamax cranes. The expanded facility will have an on-site storage capacity of 28,560 TEUs at five high.
Phase 2 engineering design, environmental assessment and consultation are well underway. Construction is expected to commence in early 2009 and completed by 2013.
