Canada’s flagship container terminal runs on 100% biofuel for shore vehicles

In Canada, Global Container Terminals (GCT) says 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 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.
