Trigon Pacific Terminals Ltd. (Trigon) submitted its proposed Trigon Pacific LPG Project to the Prince Rupert Port Authority earlier this month.
Trigon is a liquefied gas export terminal at the Port of Prince Rupert and, according to the organization, a link between Western Canadian commodity producers and their Asia-Pacific customers.
Rob Booker, CEO of Trigon, talked with CFNR about the proposal and what he believes the benefits will be for the Prince Rupert port and the city: the advantages of minimal environmental impact, low development costs, and the opportunity for needed diversification within the port.
“The Trigon LPG project is about opening up Canada’s northwestern export trade corridor, and providing jobs and economic opportunity for a region that is often left behind,” said Booker.
Booker is confident the proposal will go through and subject to regulatory review and other approvals, Trigon anticipates being ready to start operations by late 2027.
The Prince Rupert Port Authority confirmed via email to CFNR that they received a proposal from Trigon.
“Trigon Pacific Terminals Ltd. has submitted a Project Description to us,” the email stated. “PRPA has not given Trigon consent to expand its permitted uses beyond its current portfolio outlined in its lease with PRPA.”
