The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has announced that TerraMarine, a consortium including Van Oord, Aecon Group, FlatironDragados Canada and Carlson Construction Group, has been selected as the preferred contractor for the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 – Landmass and Wharf progressive design-build project in Delta, British Columbia, Canada.

The Roberts Bank Terminal 2 project will increase container capacity at the Port of Vancouver by 50% – delivering a new three-berth marine container terminal at Canada’s largest port and creating 320 acres of new waterfront industrial land. Van Oord brings its extensive global experience in dredging, land reclamation, dyke construction and rock works to the project.

TerraMarine is expected to sign a design and early works agreement with the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in the third quarter of 2026. Upon completion of the collaborative development phase, a design-build agreement is anticipated to be executed in the first quarter of 2028 to commence construction, with completion expected in the mid-2030s.

Ronald Schinagl, Managing Director Dredging & Infra, Van Oord: ‘We are proud to support the further development of Vancouver’s port infrastructure, so that it can meet the growing demands of global trade. This further expansion of our presence in Canada demonstrates our commitment to the region, and we thank the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority for its continued trust. We look forward to collaborating with our partners and local stakeholders to make this project a success.’

Peter Xotta, President and CEO, Vancouver Fraser Port Authority: ‘As we advance the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project, selecting a highly qualified construction partner is a major step forward. Canada has set a bold target to double non-U.S. exports in the next decade, and Roberts Bank Terminal 2 is critical to achieving that goal.’
