The newly expanded Trans Mountain Pipeline is fully operational and ready to deliver on its promise.
Chartered by Canadian oil producer Suncor Energy, the crude oil tanker Dubai Angel moored at a Vancouver oil terminal on May 20 to load the first delivery from the pipeline, Reuters has reported.
The Canadian government bought the line from Kinder Morgan in 2018 and spent $23 billion tripling the line’s capacity to 890,000 bbl/d.
