CANADA's busiest seaport, the Port of Vancouver, has formally launched the bidding process for the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project, reports Singapore's Splash 247.
This is the long-anticipated expansion that will boost cargo capacity by 70 per cent.
The vancouver Fraser Port Authority issued a request for qualifications this week, seeking companies to construct a CAD3 billion (US$2.2 billion) container terminal.
The project is being framed as a 'nation-building initiative', aligned with Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney's push for major infrastructure developments aimed at enhancing Canadian economic sovereignty.
The Roberts Bank Terminal 2 (RBT2) expansion will allow the port to handle an additional 2.4 million TEU per year, increasing total container throughput by 70 per cent from current levels of 3.5 million TEU. The terminal is expected to be operational by the mid-2030s.
