Prince Rupert Port Authority

The Canada Infrastructure Bank/ Banque de l'infrastructure du Canada is making a historic investment in the Port of Prince Rupert with a $150 million loan for the first phase of CANXPORT, formerly the Ridley Island Export Logistics Project. This new export logistics hub will expand capacity and capabilities for rail-to-container transloading of multiple export products, improve Canadian supply chains, and drive trade and economic growth. The project’s scale, unit train capabilities, and integration into existing container terminal operations will facilitate substantial opportunities to exporters that enhance intermodal supply chains and ways to reach international markets.
