- Der Roberts Bank Superport, oft auch als Deltaport bezeichnet, ist ein Container- und Kohleumschlagterminal bei Delta in der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Er liegt rund 40 km südlich von Vancouver an der Straße von Georgia, unweit der Grenze zu den USA. Zwischen dem Roberts Bank Superport und der Grenze zu den USA liegt nur noch das Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal, von welchen die Fähren der BC Ferries aus verkehren. Die 113 Hektar große Hafeninsel und ihre Zufahrten tangieren das 1878 errichtete Reservat der Tsawwassen-Indianer. Die Anlage bildet einen Teil des Hafens Vancouver. Sie befindet sich am Ende eines 5 km langen Dammes auf einer künstlich aufgeschütteten Insel und besteht aktuell aus zwei Betriebsbereichen. Der Hafen entstand im Jahr 1968 für den Export von Kohle (Westshore Terminals) und wird seither durch eine Güterbahnlinie der Canadian National Railway erschlossen. Inzwischen wird er auch von der Canadian Pacific Railway und der BNSF Railway angefahren. 1997 kam eine Abfertigungsanlage für Container hinzu (Deltaport container facility). (de)
- Roberts Bank is home to a twin-terminal port facility located on the mainland coastline of the Strait of Georgia in Delta, British Columbia, Canada. Opened in 1970 with Westshore Terminals as its only tenant, Roberts Bank was expanded in 1983–84, and in June 1997 opened a second terminal, the GCT Deltaport container facility. Part of Port of Vancouver, Roberts Bank is also known as the Outer Harbour of Canada's busiest port. Westshore is the busiest single coal export terminal in North America and is operated by the Westar Group on a long-term contract. It typically ships over 20 million tonnes of export coal a year and early in 2010 completed a $49-million equipment upgrade, bringing its capacity from 24 million to 29 million tonnes per year. Some of this coal is metallurgical coal from mines in the interior of British Columbia, some of which are operated by Teck Resources. This coal mined within British Columbia pays a provincial carbon tax on its embodied emissions. However, some of the coal exported through the Roberts Bank is mined within the United States, and is exported through Canada to China. Communities along the West Coast of the United States have rejected proposals for coal export terminals for environmental reasons, and so the Roberts Bank Superport is the only way for coal producers in the Powder River Basin to export coal to Asia. The American coal exported through Roberts Bank does not pay a provincial carbon tax. This practice has been criticized by environmentalists in British Columbia. Like the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal to the southeast, Roberts Bank was built at the end of a long causeway over a shallow bank. Originally created as a 20-hectare (49-acre) pod of reclaimed land for a major coal port, it is now four times that size. In January 2010, Deltaport added a third berth and doubled its capacity. It is now one of the busiest import/export ports in North America and a major hub for container trucking companies. Roberts Bank is serviced by the Robert's Bank Rail Corridor, which serves CN Rail, CP Rail, and BNSF Railway trains. It opened on April 16 1970 under the B.C. Harbours Board. Additionally, Seaspan International provides tugboat services to both terminals at peninsula. (en)
