What is the Deltaport Third Berth Project?
The Deltaport Third Berth Project (DP3) is a Port Metro Vancouver (PMV) and TSI Terminal Systems Inc. (TSI) initiative to expand existing container operations at the Deltaport container terminal at Roberts Bank, in Delta, BC. DP3 will increase capacity at Deltaport by approximately 450,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) by adding a third berth and 20 hectares of container storage facilities to the existing two-berth container terminal. The third berth at Deltaport will be operated by TSI, a private company that operates the existing Deltaport container terminal. The Project is part of the Port’s overall strategy to expand container capacity at Port Metro Vancouver to accommodate consumer and business-driven demand for increased Canadian trade trhough the west coast of Canada. The Project is being built at an estimated capital cost of approximately $400 million and is scheduled for completion in fall 2009.
