Canada ships first LNG export cargo from Pacific coast

  • The tanker GasLog Glasgow departed the LNG Canada export terminal in Kitimat, B.C., on June 30, marking the country's first large-scale LNG cargo to Asia.
  • LNG Canada obtained approval to export in 2013 and began construction of the Kitimat terminal in 2018 as part of efforts to expand Canadian gas exports to markets beyond the U.S. amid shifting trade dynamics.
  • The $40 billion project employed over 9,000 workers during peak construction and awarded $5.8 billion to local businesses and Indigenous groups, reflecting strong community involvement.
  • CEO Chris Cooper called the departure “the iconic moment when our first cargo sails away,” highlighting the decade-long effort from thousands, while Premier David Eby said it proves long-term economic strength.
  • This shipment inaugurates LNG Canada’s operations, signals a new era in B.C.'s economy, and supports future expansion plans that could double output amid rising global LNG demand.
