Project Profile
Value: US$359-398 million
Location: Ridley Island near Prince Rupert, British Columbia
Capacity: 1.2 million tonnes of propane per year
Fule type: Propayne
Construction: 2017
Completion: 2019
The Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal is expected to be the first propane export terminal on Canada’s west coast. The Project is located on Ridley Island near Prince Rupert, British Columbia, on a section of land leased by Ridley Terminals Inc. from the Prince Rupert Port Authority. The brownfield site has a history of industrial development and benefits from excellent railway access and a world class marine jetty with deep water access to the Pacific Ocean. The Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal will be designed to ship up to 1.2 million tonnes of propane per year. Propane from British Columbia and Alberta natural gas producers will be transported to the Facility using the existing CN rail network. It is estimated that the proposed Facility will offload approximately 50 to 60 rail cars per day and deliver by marine transport approximately 20 to 30 cargos of propane per year to market. The Terminal is estimated to cost between US$450 million and US$500 million. Construction is expected to begin in 2017 and the Terminal is expected to be in service by the first quarter of 2019.
