US EditionPort says dredging of Vancouver’s Burrard Inlet underway, a project touted by Carney
- On May 20, 2025, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority announced that initial preparations have started for deepening Burrard Inlet to allow oil tankers to enter at full capacity.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney recently introduced the project in response to an urgent requirement to enhance the port's efficiency amid a rapidly evolving and unpredictable global environment.
- Preliminary work includes consultation with First Nations and field studies, while the project faces criticism from some environmentalists, experts, and Indigenous groups.
- Trans Mountain states Aframax-class tankers currently load about 80 percent of capacity to clear the Second Narrows Bridge, and dredging would allow full loads at Westridge Marine Terminal.
- The government of British Columbia endorses the project provided it fulfills environmental and consultation conditions, acknowledging the urgent need to enhance port operations within the inlet.
