Port of Vancouver CEO vows expansion will come with more reliability

Peter Xotta, chief executive of the Port of Vancouver, is promising that the port's expansion will come with increased reliability, and he is now making that case to new customers in the business community, the Vancouver Sun reported.

The port filed a gateway expansion strategy with the federal government's major projects office this summer. The port is still working out the details of that strategy.

For Vancouver readers, that makes the plan a proposal before Ottawa's major projects office rather than a finished blueprint. Xotta's pitch to prospective customers is the first public sign of how the port intends to sell it: on a promise of reliability.
