DP World Vancouver selected by Nanaimo Port Authority to operate cargo terminals

DP World Vancouver and the Nanaimo Port Authority have signed a three year agreement that awards DP World Vancouver the right to operate the Port of Nanaimo’s facilities, including the general cargo Duke Point facility and Assembly Wharf.

The two parties hope the agreement will create opportunities to pursue new commodities and short sea shipping of containers to and from Vancouver Island. The current commodities handled at the three berths of the Port of Nanaimo consist of traditional forest products along with salt and kaolin. The facility also handles cruise ship passengers at a newly built berth opened for the cruise season in 2011.

Bernie Dumas, President, Nanaimo Port Authority said: "We are very pleased to be working with DP World over the coming years. The port wants to import and export a greater variety of commodities and our agreement with DP World with its extensive experience in both container and commodity handling allows us to explore new business opportunities and to reduce our reliance on a single market."
