Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project

PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project is a proposed new multi-berth container terminal at Roberts Bank in Delta, B.C. that would provide 2.4 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent unit containers) of container capacity. The project is part of Port Metro Vancouver’s Container Capacity Improvement Program, a longterm strategy to deliver projects to meet anticipated growth in demand for container capacity to 2030.

Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project would drive economic growth and increase employment, benefiting the Metro Vancouver region, British Columbia and Canada. The economic benefits from the proposed project would include gains in economic output and gross domestic product (GDP) during construction and operations. During the construction period, anticipated to be approximately six years, the project would generate thefollowing benefits:
• Direct Construction Employment: Estimated
2,500 jobs for six years, worth approximately $690
million in wages

• Indirect and Induced Employment1: Estimated
2,000 jobs for six years, worth approximately $450
million in wages

• Total Direct, Indirect and Induced
Employment: Estimated 4,500 jobs for six years,
worth approximately $1.14 billion in wages

• Gross Domestic Product: Approximately $1.63
billion to the Canadian economy

• Total Economic Output: Approximately $4.1 billion

Once operating at capacity, the project would provide
the following benefits:
• Direct Employment: Estimated 9,200
jobs, worth approximately $440 million in
wages annually

• Indirect and Induced Employment: Estimated
9,000 jobs, worth approximately $180 million in
wages annually

• Total Direct, Indirect and Induced
Employment: 18,200 jobs, worth approximately
$620 million in wages annually

• Gross Domestic Product: Approximately
$1.66 billion to the Canadian economy annually

• Total Economic Output: Approximately
$3.1 billion annually
Economic information will be updated as the project proceeds through design and development.
