Vopak Pacific Canada
This is a non-designated project on federal lands or outside Canada. The listed authorities are responsible for the project assessment.
Vopak Development Canada Inc. (Vopak) is proposing to construct and operate the Vopak Pacific Canada Project (the Project), a new bulk liquids tank storage facility in Prince Rupert, BC. The Project will provide berthing and loading facilities for bulk liquid cargo that will be received via the existing rail loop on Ridley Island. The Project is proposed to be located on Ridley Island within the lands and waters under the federal jurisdiction of the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA). The Project will store Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) (e.g., propane), Clean Petroleum Products (CPP) (e.g., diesel and/or gasoline), and methanol on behalf of Vopak's customers. Vopak will build the Project and manage the day-to-day operations of the bulk liquids tank storage facility. All products will be transported from various locations across Western Canada to the Project via the existing Canadian National Railway (CN) line. Customers of Vopak will schedule the transportation of the products to the facility and will ship the products from the Project's jetty to international markets
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is conducting an environmental effects evaluation of the Project under section 82 of the Impact Assessment Act. An environmental effects evaluation for the Project is also being carried out under section 67 of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA 2012) by the PRPA and Transport Canada, and an environmental assessment by the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office has been ongoing since 2018. ECCC is coordinating its review with the ongoing section 67 and provincial assessments.
Additional information about the Project can be viewed on the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office's Project Information Center website: EPIC (gov.bc.ca)
