Deltaport’s 3rd berth officially opens

Handling approximately 45% of containerised cargo moving through Canada’s west coast, and more than half of that through Port Metro Vancouver, the new facility will increase Deltaport’s capacity from 1.2m teus to 1.8m teus.

Construction of the new berth began in January 2007 and was completed in December last year, with ongoing expansion in direct response to the growing needs of Canadian industry and consumer demand.

Developed in an environmentally sustainable manner, with more than $25m spent on habitat compensation and long-term monitoring of the local ecosystem, the shared $400m infrastructure investment was completed on-budget and on-time by Port Metro Vancouver and the operator, Global Container Terminals.
