Ottawa is investing $75 million into expansion efforts at the Port of Prince Rupert, as part of a larger plan to strengthen Canada’s supply chains.
That funding will support the construction of a second berth to help reduce congestion and increase capacity at the Port’s Trigon Pacific Terminals.
Expansion of the multi-commodity bulk export terminal was one of Trigon’s key goals when they took ownership of the terminal this spring.
Combined with Trigon’s own investments, the new funding injection puts the project’s total budget at just over $163 million.
Through the project, Ottawa hopes to increase capacity to export green energy products, while improving the trade corridor between Prince Rupert and western Canada.
