A virtual ribbon-cutting ceremony was held by Pembina Prince Rupert Terminal on April 12 to celebrate the opening of operations and the inaugural shipment of liquified petroleum gas from the Watson Island terminal. Pembina spent approximately $12 million on the remediation process that was instrumental in transforming Watson Island to a new industrial development site. President and CEO of Pembina, Mick Dilger indicated that the terminal with the potential to load 25,000 barrels a day using 100 car-unit trains will be a key export location for propane in Western Canada. The first load of liquified petroleum gas was exported out of the facility on April 9.
