Canpotex Limited, which operates the facility at Terminal 5, plans to invest $140 million to improve its efficiency.

Changes will include a new shiploader, improved control system technology, and an upgraded conveyance system will enable shorter turnaround times for Canpotex trains and ships at the terminal. A new storage building will also allow the company to better manage its specialty grade products.

“This investment is great for Canpotex and the Port because it improves the speed and quality of our operations at the terminal.
