Three Vessels Depart from Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal in May

MONTREAL, June 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) announced today that three vessels carrying Canadian propane destined for international markets departed from AltaGas’ Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal located in British Columbia beating the previous record by 50%.

The Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal is an excellent example of how we work directly with our customers to help them win in their markets and expand to new ones. We are proud to go above and beyond for our customers and of what our collaboration can achieve.”

“International markets are constantly looking for new reliable sources of energy,” explained Buck Rogers, vice president, petroleum and chemicals at CN. “Canada’s ability to provide this energy, safely and efficiently, is key to our economic recovery and to our role as a global trading partner. While the energy industry has been particularly affected by the recent economic downturn, CN remains committed to providing a safe and reliable solution to getting Canadian Energy to international markets.”
