GCT Deltaport transitions to 100% renewable fuels for diesel equipment

Global Container Terminals (GCT) has announced that 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 decarbonisation 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.
“Today we recognise an important step forward. GCT’s transition to 100% renewable fuels for diesel equipment shows that meaningful collaboration is possible,” said Chief Laura Cassidy.
“As a modern urban Treaty Nation, Tsawwassen stands in a unique position to both prosper economically while reinvesting in the stewardship of our lands and waters.
“We hope decisions like these will create opportunities for our people and help nature heal from the industrial impacts of colonisation, just as the decisions of the past have helped the sockeye return to our waters this year. We look forward to continuing this work with GCT and others in the spirit of reconciliation and shared responsibility.”
