Vancouver Fraser Port Authority Approves Export Grain Terminal Construction
The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has made a decision on G3 Terminal Vancouver’s application to construct a massive export grain terminal in North Vancouver on federal lands managed by the port authority.
The port authority issued a project permit following a review that included consultation with the community, municipalities, agencies, stakeholders and Aboriginal groups.
The project was approved subject to 74 permit conditions that G3 must adhere to in order to ensure the project does not result in significant adverse environmental effects, including impacts to the surrounding community, stakeholders and Aboriginal groups.
G3 Global Holdings is a limited partnership established by Bunge Canada and SALIC Canada Limited. SALIC Canada Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Company (SALIC), a joint stock company based in Saudi Arabia.
The proposal includes removal of existing buildings and facilities, site preparation, and construction of a new grain terminal including buildings, grain storage silos, and a new berth for vessel loading. Annual throughput is estimated at 8 million metric tons. The proposed terminal will consist of steel buildings, conveying systems, and concrete structures, the highest of which is the cleaning building at 80 meters (264 feet) above grade. Forty-eight proposed concrete grain storage silos are 42 meters (140 feet.) in height. A rail loop is proposed to be able to accommodate three trains of up to 150 cars each per day.
Primary materials handled at the G3 facility would be wheat, soybeans, canola, peas, corn (occasionally) and some specialty by-products.
Nearly 21.6 million metric tons of wheat, canola, animal feeds, specialty crops and other ceremonials were shipped through the Port of Vancouver in 2015.

Copies of the report and permit are available on the port authority’s website.
