Prince Rupert, B.C.- A new study shows the Port of Prince Rupert is having a significant impact on the provincial economy.
The report, prepared by InterVISTAS Consulting, indicates the number of BC based jobs generated by the Port of Prince Rupert has grown by more than 70% over the past two years, and the value of export trade passing through the Port has nearly doubled to $4.9 billion dollars since 2009.
“This dramatic surge in job growth shows the more we export and grow our trade with Asia, the more we can grow our economy and opportunities for British Columbians,” said Don Krusel, President and CEO of the Prince Rupert Port Authority.
According to the study, the Port of Prince Rupert has created a total of 2,220 full-time equivalent jobs, an increase of 920 jobs in just two years.
On average, a single ship leaving Prince Rupert’s harbour is carrying $12 million of Canadian goods.
“We are proud of the Port’s role in ensuring the environmentally responsible and safe movement of goods through Prince Rupert to and from Asia,” said Krusel. “We’re equally proud that our work contributes to a sustainable economic environment both locally and throughout the province.”
