en.Wedoany.com Reported - DP World has completed infrastructure upgrades at the Fraser Surrey terminal, with a project investment of CAD 9 million (approximately USD 6 million). The upgrade, which included CAD 2 million in funding from the Government of Canada, has eliminated maritime channel bottlenecks, increasing the terminal's annual export capacity by up to 2 million tonnes.

In collaboration with Transport Canada and the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, DP World removed an old training wall in the river that had restricted vessel passage since 1967. The removal cleared approximately 1,400 in-river piles and related maritime infrastructure, improving vessel maneuverability and increasing cargo throughput for bulk commodities such as grain and general cargo.

By completing the project within existing port assets, the terminal achieved more efficient vessel movements and reduced operational delays without the need for new terminal infrastructure. Doug Smith, CEO of DP World Canada, stated that this project demonstrates what can be achieved when industry and government collaborate to remove trade barriers. Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon added that strategic investments in trade corridors are crucial for economic growth and long-term competitiveness.
