The Port of Prince Rupert handled 26.3 million tonnes of cargo in 2025, a 14% increase over 2024, during a historic period of infrastructure investment and development.

"Our 2025 performance reflects the consistent commitment of the Prince Rupert Gateway's workforce, terminal operators, CN, and customers. The depth of collaboration between all Gateway partners to unlock capacity, provide greater speed to market, and actively diversify the US$60 billion in trade that flows through our Port annually is second to none," said Kurt Slocombe, interim president, Prince Rupert Port Authority.

Intermodal traffic through DP World Prince Rupert's Fairview Container Terminal rose 20% year-over-year to 885,797 TEUs, bolstered by robust volumes in the second half of 2025.

Demand for Canadian energy products remained steady, with AltaGas' Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal shipping nearly 2.4 million tonnes of liquified petroleum gas (LPG) to markets in Asia, representing a six percent increase year-over-year.

Pembina's Watson Island LPG Bulk Terminal handled 506,159 tonnes, marking a one percent increase. Volumes through Drax's Westview Wood Pellet Terminal went up 3%, with close to 1.3 million tonnes of biofuel flowing through the facility.

Prince Rupert Port Authority noted that, beyond the strong operational performance in 2025, the Port of Prince Rupert made significant progress on several major projects that will support new cargo opportunities and strengthen the capacity and capabilities of its intermodal logistics network.

These infrastructure projects represent more than US$3 billion in capital investment and will begin coming online in mid‑2026, adding new export capacity, improving supply chain efficiency, and supporting future cargo growth.

Construction is progressing on the Ridley Island Energy Export Facility (REEF), a large open‑access LPG and bulk liquids terminal being developed by AltaGas and Vopak. The first phase includes about 55,000 barrels per day of LPG export capacity and 600,000 barrels of storage, with a further 25,000 barrels per day approved for addition in 2027.

PRPA has finished preparing the 108‑acre site for CANXPORT, a rail‑served logistics and transloading facility with 400,000 TEUs of annual export capacity for forestry, agricultural, and resin products. Ray‑Mont Logistics will relocate and expand its operations there when it opens in mid‑2026.

The Canada Infrastructure Bank finalized a US$60.7 million loan in early 2025 to support development of the South Kaien Logistics Park, a joint venture with PRPA that will add new logistics and warehousing capacity near Fairview Container Terminal and CN's mainline. IntermodeX will be the first tenant, operating a hub capable of handling more than 100,000 TEUs annually and creating 200 jobs.

CN has also begun work on the Zanardi Rapids Bridge Expansion, which will add several kilometres of new track and a 1,600‑foot two‑track bridge to increase rail corridor capacity. Completion is expected in 2027.

Trigon Pacific Terminals continues construction of its second marine berth, the Berth Two Beyond Carbon project, which will add additional vessel capacity when it comes online in 2026.
