The state of the coal shipping industry and other developments for
Ridley Terminals will be up for discussion at the company's
Annual Public Meeting set for next month

There has been a significant increase in shipments of coal through Ridley so far in 2017, with the most recent statistics presented by the Prince Rupert Port authority, indicating that volumes have doubled so far in 2017 since this time last year.

That being said, while rebounding somewhat this year, the coal industry remains in a state of transition and for Ridley Island that has meant some repurposing of the land around the coal terminal to diversify the export options from the facilities there.

AltaGas is currently constructing their propane export terminal sub leasing land at the southern end of the Ridley industrial site from RTI.
