Roberts Bank Superport

Roberts Bank is home to a twin-terminal port facility located on the mainland coastline of the Strait of Georgia in Delta, British Columbia, Canada.

Westshore is the busiest single coal export terminal in North America and is operated by the Westar Group on a long-term contract.

This coal mined within British Columbia pays a provincial carbon tax on its embodied emissions.

Originally created as a 20-hectare (49-acre) pod of reclaimed land for a major coal port, it is now four times that size.

[4] The accident resulted in an estimated 30 tonnes of coal going into the water from the severed conveyor and the disabling of the larger of the terminal's two coal-loading berths.
