The Pacific region as a whole. The supply chain network.” Ian Marr, President and CEO of the Nanaimo Port Authority.

For example, the study will determine the potential for expansion of the Duke Point terminal on Vancouver Island, to help ease bottlenecks at deepwater terminals in Vancouver. It will also explore the feasibility of improving the station’s infrastructure, providing a better connection for the transfer of goods from barges to rolling stock on the mainland. The Pacific region could see increased import/export capacity for commodities from the forestry and agricultural sectors, as well as seafood and other food sectors.

Investments like the one we’re announcing today will make it easier to move goods through the port, help grow the economy of the Pacific region and create quality jobs for Canadians.” Transport Minister Omar Al-Ghabra.
