Prince Rupert Port Authority's Annual Meeting Highlights 2012 Achievements

The Prince Rupert Port Authority told stakeholders at its annual meeting on June 19 that 2012 was a year of growth and prosperity for the Port of Prince Rupert and the communities impacted by the reach of its gateway.
 

During 2012, the port’s terminal operators process a record 22.2 million metric tons of cargo, a more than 15 percent increase from the 2011 figure. Total revenue also increased, by more than 40 percent to C$36.7 million. During the year as well, some C$200 million was invested in new infrastructure, marine terminal and expansion projects. Proposed projects announced in 2012 represent potential investments of more than C$20 billion by 2020.

"The prosperity of a port is traditionally measured by its financial health, total tonnage, and the employment and economic activity it generates," said Don Krusel, the port authority’s president and CEO. "While we are certainly successful by traditional measures, we are also committed to gauging prosperity by our ability to enable Canadian trade, maintain the safety and security of our harbor, protect the local environment, and engage with and invest in the communities where we operate. By incorporating all of these aspects into our corporate vision of success, we are ensuring the Port of Prince Rupert will continue on a path of prosperity for generations."
