Canadian port infrastructure investments

Overview

Significant investments have been announced to modernize Canadian maritime infrastructure to strengthen supply chains.

In September 2026, Canpotex announced a CA$500 million investment to upgrade the Neptune Bulk Terminals at the Port of Vancouver. This project focuses on replacing shiploaders, conveyors, and dumper pits to enhance the export of Saskatchewan potash, with construction expected to conclude by 2028.

In October 2026, the Canadian federal government committed up to $254 million toward the Saint John Trade Corridor project in New Brunswick. Funded through the Trade Diversification Corridor Fund, the upgrades aim to increase container capacity to between 825,000 and one million annually. The project includes warehouse expansion, new border services facilities, dredging, and railway track upgrades to improve freight transit times.
