ROBERTS BANK TERMINAL 2 PROJECT
Description
Roberts Bank Terminal 2 is a proposed new marine container terminal on Canada’s west coast being developed by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority. If approved and built, Roberts Bank Terminal 2 would play a critical role in supporting the growing volume of containerized trade with Canada’s global trading partners. The Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project will include the construction of a new three-berth marine container terminal in the Port of Vancouver in Delta, British Columbia. The terminal would be located in sub-tidal waters to minimize environmental effects.
