While Prince Rupert may be ahead of the pack at the moment with two Liquid Propane Terminals in various stages of development, our neighbours to the east are making quick work to catch up, as a Vancouver based company begins its first exploratory steps towards building a pipeline and terminal facility in the Aluminum City.
The proposal from Pacific Traverse Energy, which was first put forward in November of 2017, has been submitted to province's Land Use office, with the proponent looking to place a Rail Terminal and Marine shipping Terminal facility on one of two sites north of the Industrial Centre of Kitimat.

Should they move forward with their plans, Pacific Traverse would start its early investigative process in September.
Pacific Traverse applied for a National Energy Board Export licence in February of this year, they have outlined their anticipated project schedule, which you can review below:

The potential for a move into the shipment of Liquid Propane comes as anticipation continues to build in the Kitimat area for the development of an LNG terminal hosted by Shell, Petronas and a number of other Asian investors.
The ongoing industrial development for the Kitimat region makes the north end of Douglas Channel one of the most active parts of the Northwest at the moment, when it comes to ongoing plans for industrial development.
