Today was a record-breaking kind of day at the Port of Prince Rupert! The largest container vessel ever to call on DP World Canada's Fairview Container Terminal berthed for vessel unload yesterday, September 21st.
The MSC AURIGA of the Santana service (SAN for short) is seen here with a carrying capacity of 15,000 TEUs. It unloaded all of its cargo and has set off for its next destination this morning. The SAN service is a newly started service with MSC since early August 2021. The previous record Prince Rupert held was 14,500 TEUs by COSCO Himalayas in 2017.

On this National Indigenous Peoples Day, as we honour the memories of Indigenous children buried at the sites of former residential schools, we celebrate the strength, wisdom, and resilience of Indigenous people. We will continue to listen and learn, and to show our deepest respect and appreciation for the contributions of Indigenous voices and histories.
We operate on the traditional lands of the Ts’msyen people, whose rich culture, language, and knowledge is celebrated by all of us at the Prince Rupert Port Authority. These two welcome poles were carved by Ts’msyen artist Michael Epp as part of a new art installation at Prince Rupert Regional Airport.
The pole on the right depicts a human figure with a paddle and nine symbolic human figures above it, representing the Nine Allied Tribes of Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla. The pole on the left depicts the four crests: eagle, raven, wolf, killer whale, with a Sm’ooygit or chief at the base with his hand outstretched in a welcoming gesture. The artwork is jointly owned by Metlakatla and Lax Kw’alaams and was funded by the Prince Rupert Port Authority and DP World.
Air and water quality are monitored around-the-clock at the Port of #PrinceRupert. Meet our Environmental Coordinator who helps ensure that accurate, real-time data is publicly available 24/7.
