Fairview Container Terminal


Pioneering Intermodal Terminal

The anchor to the most reliable container trade corridor on the West Coast. Prince Rupert offers shippers an unparalleled mix of speed, reliability, and reach for connecting Asian and North American markets. We were the continent’s first dedicated ship-to-rail container terminal, and we continue to lead the way in supply chain innovation for our customers.

Fairview Container Terminal is a dedicated intermodal facility, purpose-built to provide a high-velocity gateway for transpacific container trade. Operated by DP World, the terminal provides shippers with a significant advantage over alternative gateways.

The terminal features two marine berths capable of accommodating the largest container ships with direct and unimpeded access from international shipping lanes. On-dock rail adjacent to the berth provides efficient intermodal operations in building trains of up to 12,000 feet.

Integrated scheduling and real-time communications between the shipping line, DP World, and CN Rail result in unparalleled terminal velocity and seamless transfer of containers between vessel and train. Served by CN Rail’s North American network, the Port of Prince Rupert has fast and efficient connections to central Canada and the Midwestern United States, saving shippers time and money.
