CANADA's Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has awarded to ACS Group a large-scale port project for the design and construction of the DP World container terminal that will account for 20 per cent of the port's total freight volume. The extension will raise the terminal's annual container handling capacity from 900,000 TEU to 1.5 million TEU.
Aside from extending the surface area of the terminal, the project will involve the construction of a fly-over and upgrades to the access routes in order to improve the flow of cargo across the harbour area, reports London's Port Technology.
The ACS Group said the improvement works will help ease road congestion and boost efficiency by decreasing port traffic from adjacent roads to the port.
Dragados, an affiliate of ACS Group, has experience in delivering complex offshore projects, including developing large container terminals.
