Major Initiatives
Container Capacity Improvement Program
The Container Capacity Improvement Program (CCIP) is the Port's long-term strategy to meet anticipated growth in container traffic, which is expected to triple by the year 2030. The program consists of projects that both improve the efficiency of existing infrastructure, and look at opportunities to build new infrastructure as demand rises. CCIP projects include the Deltaport Terminal Road and Rail Improvement Project (DTRRIP) and the proposed Roberts Bank Terminal 2 (T2) project.
DTTRIP will result in infrastructure upgrades that would increase Deltaport's container capacity by 600,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), within the terminal's existing footprint. The Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project is a proposed marine container terminal that could provide additional capacity of 2.4 million TEUs per year to meet forecast demand until 2030.
North Shore Trade Area projects include:
- Western Level Lower Level Route Extension
- Pemberton Avenue Grade Separation
- Low Level Road Realignment
- Neptune/Cargill Grade Separation
- Brooksbank Avenue Underpass
- Lynn Creek Rail Bridge Addition
South Shore Trade Area projects include:
- Powell Street Grade Separation
- Stewart Street/Victoria Overpass

Famous quotes containing the words major and/or initiatives:
“Self-centeredness is a natural outgrowth of one of the toddler’s major concerns: What is me and what is mine...? This is why most toddlers are incapable of sharing ... to a toddler, what’s his is what he can get his hands on.... When something is taken away from him, he feels as though a piece of him—an integral piece—is being torn from him.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“It is well known, that the best productions of the best human intellects, are generally regarded by those intellects as mere immature freshman exercises, wholly worthless in themselves, except as initiatives for entering the great University of God after death.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
