The shipping industry has bid farewell to Ridley Terminals and as of Thursday been introduced to Trigon, that's the new name for the Ridley Island terminal site that hosts the coal and gas shipment terminals, with the new corporate name now known as Trigon Pacific Terminals.
The logo a three pointed Trigon is one which draws from Coast Tsimshian Art and reflects the concept of transition and upward movement that the terminal is adopting as it explores a strategy for diversification, while continuing to serve the clients that have been part of their chain of supply for years.
The three-pointed "trigon" that will now be the visual identifier of the terminal is a design element drawn from the cultural context of the company's Indigenous co-owners that is frequently seen within Indigenous art. The "trigon" is known to represent the concepts of transition and upward movement, and speaks to Trigon's ownership, connection to the community and vision for the future.
The new identity one that the company explains was first considered in 2019 when it was sold off as a Crown company and became private and partially Indigenous owned by the Metlakatala First Nation and Lax Kw'alaams Band .
From the corporate information release of Thursday Trigon President and CEO Rob Booker explained the focus for the new identity as the company looks towards the future.
"Our new identity is about looking forward, while honouring Coast Tsimshian culture and traditions, as we advance our company's commitment to Reconciliation through both Indigenous ownership and a strong, sustainable operation,
We are charting an exciting path forward for the benefit of everyone.
Rapid transition is very much the pathway we've been on since the terminal's privatization and we have great ambitions for Trigon's future
A particular focus for our terminal is the export of reduced and zero-carbon energy, with hydrogen in the form of ammonia being a leading contender,
There's existing production and tremendous opportunity in Canada and even greater global demand. As many countries increasingly put hydrogen at the top of their list as part of their commitment to global decarbonization, we intend to play a significant role in this evolution as Canada's first hydrogen-as-ammonia export terminal."
Towards the new quest for diversification the company outlined how ongoing investment at the facility will serve that goal.
"Trigon currently handles steelmaking and thermal coal, as well as liquid petroleum gas (LPG) exports, which remain core to the operations. In parallel, the company has been rapidly advancing its strategy to also handle new green energy exports, investing in the necessary infrastructure upgrades. "
Last month, the 115 employees of ILWU Local 523 agreed to a new collective agreement that will take the workers and the company through to 2026.
