Marine Terminal

VAFFC owns a wharf facility in Richmond on the south arm of the Fraser River, at the foot of Williams Road, about two kilometres east of Highway 99. Located 15 kilometres upstream of the mouth of the river at one of its deepest and widest sections, this wharf was built in the late 1990s to handle vessels up to 30,000 tonnes.

The facility requires upgrading to serve a range of vessel types to ensure a flexible supply for the airlines serving YVR. For example, by accommodating barges, jet fuel for YVR can be delivered from local supply sources. By also accommodating Panamax class vessels, jet fuel can be delivered from more distant sources, such as the western US and Asian markets.
