Bulk Handling
Backed by a $13.1 million federal grant, SWP plans to construct a high-capacity loading system capable of transferring 2,000 tonnes of material per hour. Once complete, the system will enable efficient loading of mineral concentrates such as copper, gold, silver, zinc, and lead from the Golden Triangle.

our story
Established, Experienced, and Expanding
Founded in 2012 by Ted Pickell, a veteran of the industrial construction industry, Stewart World Port was built to serve the growing mining and development activity across Northern BC. Construction wrapped in 2015, and by early 2016, the first vessel had docked, marking the beginning of a new era for trade in the Golden Triangle.
As the largest property taxpayer in Stewart and a committed local employer, SWP continues to play an active role in supporting the community that has grown alongside it.
