Connecting Canada
OUR STORY
With $3 billion in expansion projects underway, the Port of Prince Rupert is set to double the volume of goods moving through its port by 2030.
The Port of Prince Rupert supports 7,940 full-time jobs, representing $690 million in annual wages, and contributes $1.5 billion to Canada’s GDP.
Those numbers will only continue to grow with the launch of exciting new terminals like CANXPORT, the Ridley Island Energy Export Facility (REEF), and the South Kaien Logistics Park in 2026 and 2027.

Operated by Prince Rupert Grain, the terminal has the capacity to ship in excess of seven million tonnes of primarily wheat, barley, and canola from the Canadian prairies a year.
OUR ADVANTAGES
Proximity to Asia
The Port has the shortest and fastest trade route of the transpacific to Asia. Being 500 nautical miles closer than other Pacific Northwest ports, it saves up to 60 hours of sailing time.
Deepest Harbour
The Port of Prince Rupert is the deepest natural harbour in North America, making it ice-free year-round, to mitigate risk and accommodate the largest vessels in the shipping trade.
Safe Access to Shipping Lanes
Short and direct access to Pacific shipping lanes means safer and faster pilot times and ample room for anchorages. With our deep, wide, and protected approaches, our pilot time is 2 to 6 hours less than any other major Northwest port.
Rail Connectivity
The Port of Prince Rupert is connected to North America’s markets with CN’s expansive rail network. With CN offering speed, capacity and flat rail grade, the Port is connected to resource-rich communities, innovative manufacturing regions, and top-tier distribution centres in Canada and the US.
