The notice is a short entry on the Wolverine Marine Terminal website.

First announced in September of 2017, the Terminal proposal has navigated over five years of choppy international times and a number of regulatory requirements to get the finish line for the Calgary based company.
The project has seen a few delays towards their original launch date of mid to late 2019, the actual construction phase for the work did not get underway u til December of 2021.

Once in operation, the Wolverine Facility located along the shoreline where the CN Aquatrain facility once was, will be a key element of the Port's efforts to increase shipping out of the Prince Rupert Gateway.
The port until now was one of the only major global ports that did not offer marine fuelling services. Something that Port officials have noted a few times through their Annual Public Meeting sessions.
The most recent APM held this summer, provided for an update on the progress for Wolverine and how it would add to the global footprint for Port operations.
You can learn more about how the operation will look and work here.
