| 摘要： | A Canadian railway company located on Vancouver Island in Canada has proposed an ambitious, expensive and long-term rail-barge project to ease congestion in the Port of Vancouver and develop new sub-ports on the island.In March, Island Rail Corporation, located in the town of Victoria at the southern tip of Vancouver Island, proposed a partnership with governments and First Nations to establish a $1 billion (Canadian) freight rail service between ports in Port Albemi (located in the middle of the island) and Nanaimo (on its eastern coast). Cargoes would be railed from Port Alberni to Nanaimo and shipped by barge to the mainland. The proposal involves ceding land back to First Nations (as Canada calls its indigenous tribes) from discontinued rail lines and negotiating with them on terms of a new logistics partnership. Dave Hayden, president of Island Rail Corporation, who was previously in senior management with Canadian Pacific Railway, told local news sources the company wanted to raise its own financing, with no government help, and has developed a plan that looks 100 years into the future. |
