Crop loading facility to be built for Ray-Mont Logistics at Prince Rupert
RAY-MONT Logistics is to develop a 10-acre transload facility on Ridley Island at Prince Rupert, British Columbia, to provide integrated logistics and container loading services to exporters of containerised crops from Canada and the US.
The Canadian agricultural crops will reach international markets via the Road, Rail and Utility Corridor at the south end of the Ridley Island Industrial Site.
Crops such as lentils, peas, beans, soy, flax and wheat from western and central Canada and the US Midwest will be transported in hopper cars by rail and then transferred to ocean containers for export at the port's Fairview Container Terminal, reported American Shipper.
The new facility will be equipped with a rail loop corridor for 100 railcars, a grain dumper pit and a conveyance system. 40 employees will man it.
In addition to the Ridley Island expansion, the Fairview Container Terminal expansion project is currently underway. When the project is completed in August 2017, the terminal's annual handling capacity will rise from 850,000 TEU to 1.3 million TEU. DP World from Maher Terminals acquired the terminal back in April 2015.
