Roberts Bank Superport
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Location of Roberts Bank Superport in Metro Vancouver
Roberts Bank Superport, also commonly referred to as Deltaport, is a port terminal facility located in Delta, British Columbia. TSI Terminal Systems Inc. operates Deltaport in the outer harbour, as well as Vanterm in the Burrard Inlet.
It is an integral part of the Port of Vancouver. Like the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal just to the southeast, it is built at the end of a long causeway over a shallow bank. Created as a port on the West Coast for the export of coal brought in by CN Rail in the early 1960s, a container facility was added in 1997 and it is now one of the busiest import/export ports in North America and a major hub for container trucking companies.
It is currently serviced by CN Rail, CP Rail and BNSF Railway.
