Summary
Vancouver's port authority is proceeding with plans for an artificial island container terminal at Roberts Bank, south of the city. However, following a recent agreement between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith to develop a new pipeline to British Columbia's south coast, questions arise about whether the facility might also be upgraded to handle the world's largest tankers for shipping Alberta bitumen to Asian markets. A map from Alberta shows the proposed pipeline route following existing infrastructure and ending at Roberts Bank on the B.C. coast.
