Conference Season takes Port of Prince Rupert officials to Alberta

The opportunity to provide some background to what the Port of Prince Rupert can offer energy and resource shippers on the prairies has been the focus for PRPA officials this week. 

That through participation from Port officials at the Alberta Industrial Heartland Association conference which took place on Thursday at the Edmonton Convention Centre.

A look at what was up for discussion at the day long conference can be reviewed here.

The annual Alberta conference attracted over 1,000 delegates from industry and government, taking part in discussion sessions and taking in keynote addresses from a range of participants.

One of the featured speakers for the event was Michael Inman, the Director of Business Development for the Prince Rupert Port Authority.

The Port has been relaying some of their discussion themes as the conference moved forward, with a good portion of the focus on the energy and resource sector opportunities to be delivered through port related facilities. 

Included as part of the North Coast presentation were a number of the port's partners on the Prince Rupert waterfront. Among those to provide the narrative to the Prince Rupert advantages were representative from CN Rail, AltaGas and RoyalVopak
