Phase II expected to be done before 2015 By Shaun Thomas The Northern View Prince Rupert Port Authority president and CEO Don Krusel says he expects Phase 2 expansion to bring additional capacity to Fairview Terminal “before 2015”. Krusel made the comments while addressing the BC Chamber of Commerce Transportation Summit 2012 earlier this week, and came on the heels of a discussion about the road/rail/utility corridor being developed at Ridley Island. “Integrated with this development, Phase 2 expansion of Fairview Container Terminal is expected to bring an additional
500,000 TEUs of container capacity online before 2015,” Krusel told those gathered in Vancouver on June 5. Both the phase 2 expansion and the road/rail/utility corridor are part of the Prince Rupert Port Authority’s 20/20 Gateway Development Plan, which Krusel said would further vault Prince Rupert onto the national and international shipping stage. “The full build-out and realization of this plan would make Prince Rupert the second largest port in the country. It would expand the Port’s annual throughput capacity to well over a 100 million tonnes to support Canadian trade. It represents over $10 billion in capital expansion. It
would also provide in excess of 4,000 new, permanent, full-time jobs. Those are exciting prospects and developments,” he said. “Our 20/20 Gateway Development Plan gives us the tools we need to line up the right infrastructure, terminals and partners required to find the best solution for Canadian industry seeking access to Asian and world markets.” The catalyst behind the 20/20 Gateway Development Plan, said Krusel, is the continued growth in demand from Asian markets. “Asia’s appetite for our natural resources is increasing year over year.” See port expansion, page 3
