Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, plans remain in place for the Port of Prince Rupert to expand its existing Fairview shipping-container site and build a new $2.5-billion terminal. The Port has selected DP World PLC as the operator for the second container terminal. Annual capacity at Fairview is currently 1.35 million TEUs and is forecast to rise to 1.8 million TEUs, after the expansion project is completed in 2023. The Port is planning to launch a marketing campaign to attract workers and spur interest from investors when the time is appropriate.
