Canada’s Top Port Seeks Builder to Add 70% Capacity in Asia Trade Push

 

The Port of Vancouver, Canada’s main trade gateway to Asia, kicked off the search for a company to build a new wharf to handle 70% more containers, as the country looks for ways reduce economic reliance on the US.

The work is expected to cost at least C$3 billion ($2.2 billion), Victor Pang, the port’s chief financial officer, said in a phone interview.
