Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Canadian ports manage $400 billion worth of cargo every year, supporting thousands of jobs from coast to coast. As trade continues to grow, many ports are making large capital investments to expand docks, equipment, facilities and intermodal connections. Industrial Info is eight large port projects in Canada totaling $3.87 billion.
In British Columbia, a $550 million container terminal is being constructed at the Prince Rupert Ridley Island Terminal to increase capacity to handle 2 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) per year.

The $400 million Phase III of the project will extend the wharf to 800 meters, achieve 59 feet water depth, and increase the dock area to 139 acres. The port's storage capacity will be 28,560 TEUs. Construction of this phase of the project is anticipated to begin in summer of 2018 and be wrapped up in the spring of 2020.
