Half-way point surpassed on Trigon’s Berth Two Beyond Carbon project

Trigon Pacific Terminals Limited, a multi-commodity bulk and liquefied gas export terminal, has completed more than half of the marine-related construction on its Berth Two Beyond Carbon (B2BC) project at the Port of Prince Rupert.

Most of the piles forming part of the permanent structure were placed in the water as of early July, along with the artificial reef to create new marine habitat. The installation of the topside berth equipment remains on schedule to complete the project in late 2026.

B2BC is a key component of Trigon’s diversification strategy and will nearly double the terminal’s capacity from 18.5 million tonnes to an estimated 33.5 million tonnes annually.

“We are actively diversifying with a focus on energy exports from Alberta and British Columbia, most notably low-carbon hydrogen-as-ammonia and liquid petroleum gas [propane], as well as a variety of other Canadian bulk liquids,” says Rob Booker, Trigon’s CEO. “We are the only project far enough advanced to enable Canadian ammonia producers to meet the procurement timelines of key Asian markets.”

The overall $163-million investment was made possible with the support of Transport Canada’s National Trade Corridors Fund. Trigon’s new larger berth is expected to receive its first vessel in early 2027.

Other key initiatives include the Trigon Pacific LPG project which will repurpose some of the storage area currently used for thermal coal handling so that it is ready for lower-carbon liquid petroleum gas. Trigon is also preparing industrial-zoned lands in anticipation of the need of space for liquid storage and handling infrastructure.

Privately owned – with equity positions held by the Lax Kw’alaams Band and Metlakatla First Nation – Trigon is committed to transformational growth strategies aligned with global energy and climate-related imperatives.
