Port of Prince Rupert
Port of Prince Rupert
The Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA), operating under the Canada Marine Act, acts as an autonomous agency responsible for all federally owned waterfront properties in and around the city of Prince Rupert on the north coast of British Columbia. The ports of British Columbia offer the shortest transit times to and from Canada’s major trading partners in Asia. PRPA facilities include:
-- Fairview Container Terminal was originally constructed as a breakbulk cargo terminal and was later expanded. The general cargo terminal was converted into a container terminal. Maher Terminals Holding Corporation managed the terminal operations until the rights of the terminal operations were purchased by DP World Canada in 2015.
-- Prince Rupert Grain, which handles export-bound wheat, barley and canola shipped by rail directly from grain elevators on Canadian prairies. The terminal also processes and exports byproducts such as grain screening pellets, feed screenings, mixed feed oats and associated commodities.
--- Other facilities, such as Ocean Dock, Ridley Terminals, and Pinnacle Pellet Terminals. All of PRPA facilities are serviced by CN Rail.
