Canadian government approves Roberts Bank Terminal 2 at Port of Vancouver

The Canadian government has approved the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project at Vancouver Fraser Port Authority following a decade-long environmental assessment process for a three-berth container terminal.

By incrementally delivering an additional 2.4m teu of capacity, the new terminal near existing ports terminals at Roberts Bank in Delta, British Columbia, will ultimately increase Canada’s west coast container capacity by approximately one-third.

The project can proceed subject to 370 legally binding conditions to protect the environment, including to prevent harm to local species.
