II Out & About Task force boosts port DAILY FERRY sailings to Port Hardy and developing Prince Rupert as a container port are among the key recommendations of Northwest Tramportation Corridor Task Force. The task force reported last week, releasing recommendations for revitalizing the $18 billion economy of northern B.C. and northern Alberta. It concludes that changes in rail transportation and pricing ~ in particular the switching of cars from one railway to another -- would be key in putting more cargo on the northern route. Task force representatives say a level playing field be. tween the ports of Prince Rupert and Vancouver would result in more use of the northern mute, because it's 30 hours closer to Asia by sea than any other west coast port. Developing Prince Rupert as a container port shipping to the Asian market would the best way to use that advantage, the report says. The task force adds its voice to those of many others across the north who say daily ferry sailings particularly in the summer would pour tourism dollars into northern B.C.
