After months of decline, Fairview Terminal saw a significant jump in traffic last month.
The total tonnage handled by the terminal in November increased 16.69 per cent year-over-year, from 43,532 TEUs in 2012 to 50,798 TEUs in 2013, with imports climbing from 25,286 TEUs last year to 28,940 TEUs this year, an increase of 14.45 per cent.
While the numbers for Fairview Terminal were strong in November, the same cannot be said for the other terminals under the Prince Rupert Port Authority umbrella.
Prince Rupert Grain was the only terminal to see a year-over-year increase, climbing 4.03 per cent from 566,010 tonnes last November to 588,806 tonnes this November. The terminal is up 12.5 per cent so far this year having moved 4.76 million tonnes compared to 4.24 million tonnes.
