Dubai’s DP World and the Prince Rupert Port Authority have announced an agreement to study further expansion of the Fairview Container Terminal in Prince Rupert, Canada.
DP World is the operator of the Fairview Container Terminal and construction is currently underway for the Phase 2 North expansion. Government of Canada approval has been received for the Phase 2 South expansion of the terminal further to an environmental assessment completed on terminal expansion in 2012.
Under the new Feasibility Study agreement, DP World said it intends to study current marine liner services and container volume growth forecasts for trans-Pacific trade on the West Coast, weighing demand for activation of Fairview’s Phase 2 (South) expansion to align the project schedule with market demand.
