Prince Rupert unveils plan to boost capacity by 6-7m teu

Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA) has completed a container terminal master plan outlining the addition of 6-7m teu in capacity through the development of multiple terminals.

The master planning concluded the potential for further expansion of Fairview Terminal and the development of a second container terminal at the Port of Prince Rupert’s South Kaien Island site.

This second terminal features a capacity of 2.5m teu and was identified as the next phase of terminal expansion for the container business at the port following the expansion of Fairview Container Terminal announced with DP World in 2018, increasing its current capacity from 1.35m teu to 1.8m teu by 2022.
