Did not see this posted anywhere. The Salish Sea terminal is coming along by the looks of it. It is a cargo container terminal focused on move goods local (on barges). Good fit given the cargo container handling infrastructure that was recently added in Nanaimo....

DP World on track for mid-2026 launch of short-sea shipping facility in Vancouver
New CAD$22 million “Salish Sea Gateway” facility aims to shift freight from truck-and-ferry movements to a dedicated marine service linking Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland
directly lowering greenhouse gas emissions and easing congestion along key regional corridors. It will also provide greater reliability for importers, exporters, and domestic shippers by sidestepping seasonal trucking constraints and traffic bottlenecks.
Once operational, the facility will significantly strengthen Vancouver Island’s access to North American road and rail networks and global ocean carriers. In combination with the Duke Point Terminal expansion in Nanaimo, the Salish Sea Gateway will unlock new feeder-service opportunities through the Lower Mainland – supporting trade growth, manufacturing investment, and long-term economic development across coastal British Columbia.
