Next Phase of Prince Rupert Fairview Terminal Expansion Unveiled Next Phase of Prince Rupert Fairview Terminal Expansion Unveiled rupertport.com The Port of Prince Rupert and DP World have agreed on terms of a project development plan that outlines the next phase of expansion for the DP World Prince Rupert Fairview Container Terminal. The Phase 2B expansion will increase annual throughput capacity at Canada’s second largest container terminal to 1.8 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) when complete in 2022. DP World Group Chairman and CEO, Sultan Ahmed Follow the BCMEA Bin Sulayem, said: “Canada is an important part of our global network and we are delighted to confirm on social media these plans, which underline our commitment to Prince Rupert, which plays a major role in enabling trade in the region and across the west coast with rail connections inland to the rest of the country and the United States.

Please submit to Lauren Chan: [email protected] 500 – 349 Railway Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6A 1A4 604.688.1155 www.bcmea.com June 28, 2018 The BCMEA Bulletin June 28, 2018 Next Phase of Prince Rupert Fairview Terminal Expansion Unveiled (continued) “It also demonstrates the excellent relationships built with the Port Authority and the confidence we both share in the future and the creation of jobs in the community, stimulating the local and regional economy. I would like to thank all our partners and people at Prince Rupert for their commitment and ongoing support.” The Fairview Phase 2B project follows the 2017 completion of Fairview Phase 2A, which increased the terminal capacity by 500,000 TEUs to its current capacity of 1.35 million TEUs. Construction on Phase 2B will begin in mid-2019. There will be an initial gradual release of capacity to 1.6 million TEUs, in 2020 following the completed expansion of the container yard to the south. Port of Prince Rupert Chair, Bud Smith, said: “The execution of this agreement signifies DP World’s commitment to enabling Canadian trade with another significant investment that will bring a total of one million additional TEUs of container capacity to the Port of Prince Rupert in less than five years. This project will provide critical trade-enabling infrastructure for Canada’s west coast, a timely response to forecasted growth in trans-Pacific trade and supportive of Canada’s efforts to diversify markets through new free trade agreements such as the CPTPP.” The project will expand the container yard from its current 32 hectares to 41 hectares and add two new rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes as well as an eighth dock gantry crane. The existing maintenance and administration buildings will be relocated to create additional container storage capacity. Expansion and relocation of the truck gate to the south end of the terminal, where it will connect with the Fairview – Ridley Connector project being advanced by the Port of Prince Rupert, will also improve efficiency. The Phase 2B project will further expand on-dock rail capacity with the addition of 6,680 feet of working track, for a total of 24,680 feet of on-dock rail by 2022. CN Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, JJ Ruest, said: “Together with our supply chain partners, this expansion, combined with CN’s investments in B.C. and across its rail network, positions us to drive this unique trade gateway success story forward.” The project will have significant economic impact on Prince Rupert and the surrounding region, creating approximately 300 additional full-time equivalent (FTE) positions at Fairview Container Terminal. ILWU Local 505 President, Glen Edwards, said: “Our casual and full-time members are some of the best at what they do in North America, and we’re ready to meet new demand while continuing to provide an exceptional service. We’re thankful for the leadership shown by DP World and the Port of Prince Rupert to continue investing in infrastructure that supports hundreds of local jobs and strengthens the economic resiliency of our region.” Lax Kw’alaams Mayor, John Helin, said: “The continued expansion of the Fairview Container Terminal is welcome news and represents further economic participation and shared prosperity for our members and the entire region.” Metlakatla Chief Councillor, Harold Leighton, said: “We are excited to continue playing a significant role in the development and successful operation of intermodal activities in Prince Rupert, which have a positive impact on the lives of so many.” http://www.rupertport.com/news/releases/fairview-phase-2B-expansion 2 The BCMEA Bulletin June 28, 2018 NeptuneTERMINALS REGISTER NOW!

Transport Minister Marc Garneau announced in Vancouver on Friday that the government will provide $144.5 million for two projects that aim to improve the infrastructure at the Port of Vancouver. The projects, led by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in partnership with Canadian National Railway Ltd., include, among others, building new rail siding tracks, extending Waterfront Road that runs alongside the harbour, and improving existing ventilation system in the Thornton Rail Tunnel so trains can pass through more frequently. The remaining $22.5 million will go toward a project led by CN aimed at increasing efficiency and capacity of the rail network servicing the busy Port of Vancouver, while reducing the effects of rail traffic on the local community. Both investments are part of the government’s National Trade Corridors Fund that will allocate $2 billion over 11 years to improve infrastructure that facilitates trade. “These projects will help Canadian businesses compete globally, helping to ensure goods move efficiently to market,” Garneau said at the news conference. “For the Canadian economy to succeed, we have to ensure that our products, our services and our citizens have access to key global markets. Well-functioning trade corridors allow us to reach these markets and to compete.” Fears grow Canada missing the boat on expanding vital West Coast ports The Port of Vancouver is Canada’s largest and most diversified port. Last year, it saw record volume, with 142.1 million tonnes of cargo worth about $200 billion go through it, an increase of five per cent from the year before. Vessels coming in and out of the port transport everything from automobiles to coal and grain products destined for overseas consumption. (continued) 4 The BCMEA Bulletin June 28, 2018 Port of Vancouver gets $167 million infrastructure investment from Ottawa for three projects (continued) According to Robin Silvester, chief executive of the Port of Vancouver, $1 of every $3 of Canadian imports and exports, excluding North America, go through the West Coast port. With the signing of international trade pacts such as the recent free trade deal with Pacific Rim countries, demand growth at the port is expected to surge. Silvester said the investment toward “much-needed projects” will help alleviate road and rail bottlenecks on the north and south shores on the Burrard Inlet, which he said are critical trade corridors for the Port of Vancouver. “Here on Canada’s West Coast, port authorities are working hard to prepare our ports and trade corridors to handle the growth ahead,” Silvester said at the news conference. “Together, all these projects will help Canadian companies get their products to market faster and help Canadians access international goods and products.” CN’s interim president and CEO, JJ Ruest, said in a statement that the company welcomes the government’s investment.“These investments signal Canada’s commitment to trade with Asian economies,” he said.

  • To Injure Its Own Interests5': the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company and the Blighting of Hazelton District, 191O-1918*
    "To Injure Its Own Interests5': The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company and the Blighting of Hazelton District, 191o-1918* FRANK LEONARD A railway must encourage the movement of goods along its line. This blunt prescription for financial survival follows from the observation that revenue from traffic provides in large part the return on the investment in the construction and operation of most new Unes.1 For lines traversing British Columbia, a region which produced little agricultural freight, the genera­ tion of traffic was particularly acute.2 It is therefore not surprising that historians have frequently evaluated the activities of the three transcon­ tinental systems in the province by the degree to which they followed the prescription.3 The success of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company (CPR) in Brit­ ish Columbia during its early years of high costs and limited earnings, argues H. A. Innis, stemmed in part from the company's emphasis on more * An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Symposium on Boom and Bust Cycles in Communities in the American and Canadian West, University of Victoria, August 1987. Gordon Hak, Cole Harris, Logan Hovis, Richard Mackie, Jeremy Mouat, and H. V. Nelles made helpful comments on various drafts of the paper, as did Patricia E. Roy, the commentator at the symposium. The Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Ministry of Indian and Northern Affairs, the University of Toronto/York University Joint Program in Transportation, and Transcom provided funds for research and writing of the paper. 1 Texts concerning railway finance and economics of transportation have long main­ tained that the observation (and its corollary) applied in all cases.
