Construction of a new plastic pellet export facility is underway at the Port of Prince Rupert.
Ray-Mont Logistics says the six-million dollar facility will bag Alberta-produced plastic pellets in containers and ship them from the North Coast.
“This project will reroute and realign the movement of plastics in North America,” said Charles Raymond, president and chief executive officer of Ray-Mont Logistics, in a news release. “Shippers now have more options than before to access Asian markets without any warehousing or double handling. This unique process is faster and reduces costs for everyone.
Ray-Mont is partnering with CN, which will deliver the pellets by rail from Alberta.
Construction on the facility is underway and is expected to be complete by the end of August.
