Global Container Terminals (GCT) is proud to announce that GCT Deltaport - Canada's flagship container terminal - has now fully transitioned to 100% renewable fuel for diesel equipment, marking a major step forward in the company's decarbonization journey.

This achievement was made possible through a strong partnership with Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) and long-time fuel supplier Parkland Corporation, and it reflects a shared commitment to sustainability, innovation, and economic reconciliation.

The move aligns with GCT's climate strategy (https://globalterminals.com/globalcommitment/esg/) to reduce absolute emissions by 45% by 2030 and reach net-zero by 2050. Renewable fuels allow GCT to cut emissions immediately without premature equipment replacement-paving the way for future hybrid and zero-emission technology adoption.

The transition to renewable fuels at GCT Deltaport is more than an environmental achievement - it reflects a long-standing, values-driven partnership between GCT and Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN), whose lands the terminal operates on. This collaboration is grounded in a shared commitment to sustainability, economic opportunity, and respect for the environment and community.

TFN continues to demonstrate leadership in balancing economic development with cultural and environmental stewardship, creating pathways for long-term prosperity for Tsawwassen Members while protecting the land and water for future generations. This venture will generate shared revenue that TFN can reinvest directly into its people, helping to build a brighter future for all Members.

GCT Global Container Terminals is a majority Canadian-owned operator at the Port of Vancouver and a key player in Canada's Pacific Gateway. As one of the port's largest employers and the operator of Canada's largest container terminal, GCT has been a vital part of the Vancouver waterfront since 1907, when it began as Empire Stevedoring.
