9、Rupert and is administered by the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA). The terminal was originally developed as a bulk/break-bulk terminal in the early 1970s by the Canadian Federal Government through the National Har

10、bours Board, and was subsequently expanded in the late 1980s. Principal commodities handled at the terminal were forest products, bulk solids, bulk liquids and general cargoes. Declining throughputs at the terminal com

11、bined with the surging growth of international container trade on the west coast of North America and the competitive advantages of the port resulted in a decision to convert Fairview Terminal to a container handling

12、facility. Key factors leading to the decision were the safe deep- water and ice-free approaches, the shortest land-sea route between China and central 1163 Ports 2010: Building on the Past, Respecting the Future © 2

16、were filled with rock. The front cells were only partially filled to reduce toe bearing pressures. Front cell concrete cover slabs and a concrete cope beam were then cast-in-place. Cover slabs and key slabs were also

17、installed between caissons to prevent loss of backfill. Expansion joints were installed in the cope beam between caissons to accommodate any differential movement. DESIGN CRITERIA FOR NEW CONTAINER BERTH Key design cri
