The Roberts Bank Container Expansion Program is a Vancouver Port Authority proposal to expand container handling facilities at Roberts Bank in Delta from 900,000 TEUs to an anticipated capacity of 3.2 million TEUs. The Program will initially add a third-berth to the existing two-berth Deltaport container terminal, followed by the development of a new three-berth container terminal known as Terminal 2.

The expansion will enhance the competitiveness of British Columbia and Canada by providing significant socio-economic benefits to workers, businesses and local communities.

The growth of container traffic on the west coast of North America is due to the rapid expansion of Asia-Pacific trade, as well as the growth in containerization of a larger range of products.

Roberts Bank is located 40 kilometres south of Vancouver's inner harbour in Delta, B.C. Click on the PDF document below to view an aerial image of Roberts Bank:
