The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority said it would issue a request for qualifications in July 2025 for a construction partner to deliver the landmass and wharf component of the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project.
The new marine container terminal at the Port of Vancouver was commissioned to support the trade of more than CA$100 billion ($70 billion) in goods annually once fully operational.
The contract will include the delivery of a marine terminal landmass; wharf structure and berth pocket; widened causeway; expanded tug basin; and environmental mitigation and offsetting projects.
In 2023, the federal and provincial governments approved the project following an environmental assessment process. In 2024, the port authority submitted a Species at Risk Act-compliant Fisheries Act Authorisation application to Fisheries and Oceans Canada, with a joint commitment with government and regulators for a decision no later than October 2026.
Construction mobilisation and early works are expected to occur in 2027, with major land reclamation works expected to begin in 2028. Terminal operations are set to begin in the mid-2030s.
