Published: November 19, 2009 3:00 PM

The federal government will pump $900,000 into the deep-sea terminal at Ogden Point.

The money, which adds to a previous $1.5 million contribution from the provincial government, will help expand the port and increase the number and size of cruise ships that can dock in Victoria.

The remaining $2.3 million for the $4.7-million infrastructure project will come from the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority.

The announcement was one of 27 infrastructure projects valued at more than $150 million that will stimulate B.C.'s economy through job creation.
