The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (VFPA) proposes the construction and operation of a new three-berth marine container terminal located at Roberts Bank in Delta, British Columbia, approximately 35 km south of Vancouver. The proposed project, to be located next to the existing Deltaport and Westshore Terminals, would provide an additional 2.4 million twenty-foot equivalent units of container capacity per year at Roberts Bank.
However, the VFPA is a government agency and is putting forward and preferring its own expansion project, while refusing to review a lower-cost, lower-risk to taxpayers, and more environmentally-conscious project proposed by the existing GCT Deltaport terminal operator.
On May 30, 2019, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) Independant Review Panel hosted a hearing of the Socio-Economic Conditions for this VFPA proposed plan, and GCT Global Container Terminals submitted their submission of considerations. Click here to view & share the submission.
