REEF, a joint venture between VOPAK and AltaGas will be the home for a large scale liquefied petroleum gas and bulk liquids terminal and marine berthing facility.
In 2023, the joint venture executed a long-term lease on a site administered by the Prince Rupert Port Authority.
With permits in place towards the work underway today, the Port highlighted what's ahead for the land development phase of the project.
Under the Port Authorities Operations Regulations established under the Canada Marine Act, PRPA has granted an approval for the REEF project to proceed with vegetation removal as a first phase of the development.
The approval grants permission to commence clearing, grubbing, timber salvaging and wood waste disposal for the project area subject to the implementation of environmental mitigation measures which were defined during the environmental review process.
The work will take place within the 190-acre site leased to the REEF partnership by PRPA.
The PRPA statement towards the project's momentum can be reviewed here.
The Port has added an information page to their website dedicated towards the REEF project, which provides more background on the plans from the joint partnership.
More on the project can be reviewed through our archive here.
While the work moves forward on that terminal project, there has yet to be any statement issued by the PRPA related to recent developments with Trigon, the Prince Rupert based terminal operator noted of what it called a 'fundamental disagreement' with the Port Authority related to a disallowance for Trigon's plans to ship LPG out of their existing Ridley Island Facility.
Yesterday, Trigon announced it was advancing its engineering work towards its LPG propane export project.
To date there has been no further updates related to their dispute with the PRPA, other than the legal plans continue forward.
More notes on Trigon's plans can be reviewed here.
