Roberts Bank Terminal 2 procurement process begins

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has officially launched the procurement process for the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project, issuing a request for qualifications to identify a construction team for one of Canada’s most critical infrastructure undertakings.

This marks a major milestone in advancing the development of a next-generation marine container terminal at the Port of Vancouver.

The RFQ targets the landmass and wharf component of the project and is part of a progressive design-build procurement process using a target price model. An independent fairness monitor has been appointed to ensure transparency and integrity throughout the selection process.

Roberts Bank Terminal 2 will significantly enhance Canada’s trade infrastructure, unlocking over $100 billion in additional trade capacity and contributing an estimated $3 billion annually to GDP.

Once operational, the terminal will support Canadian exports such as Prairie grain and B.C. forestry products and help ensure affordable and reliable access to goods for communities across the country.

Victor Pang, CFO at the port authority, emphasized the strategic importance of the project,
saying that accelerating delivery of Roberts Bank Terminal 2 is essential to strengthening Canada’s economic security and trade resilience.

The contract will cover the construction of a 100-hectare marine landmass, a 35-hectare widened causeway, a 1,300-metre wharf and berth pocket, and an expanded tug basin. Environmental measures are integrated into the design, including: a marine terminal fish passage to support juvenile salmon migration and civil works to support habitat enhancement projects, including the South Arm Jetty Tidal Marsh Project.
