A Tuesday announcement from Trigon Pacific Terminals has outlined the forward momentum for the Prince Rupert based export terminal's plans for an LPG propane component.
With Trigon noting that intends to advance the redevelopment of a portion of its existing facilities for LPG exports, reinforcing their plans to commence legal action to enforce its leas rights to handle the additional commodities.
The plans for diversification are key to the Tirgon blueprint for the future, with CEO Rob Booker noting of the strong support the company has towards its initiative.
“Repurposing and ‘upcycling’ a portion of our terminal is good for everyone – the Canadian economy, Canadian producers, the people we employ and the communities we support. This is evidenced by the strong support we have received from customers near and far, local communities, our Union and Trigon’s Indigenous partners.”
Some of the background to their plans include a look at what the project will mean for the Ridley Island industrial site:
Upwards of 120,000 cubic metres of new LPG storage capacity.
Will leverage the existing LPG vessel loading infrastructure.
Will leverage the existing rail yard, with new rail unloading facilities to provide complete unit train unloading.
Trigon first announced their plans in November, which also was the first indication of the dispute between one of the regions key industrial components and the Prince Rupert Port Authority.
The engineering work now underway towards their project is anticipated to be completed by the second quarter of 2024.
