据世界天然气网站5月31日消息 加拿大AltaGas公司已经开放其位于不列颠哥伦比亚省鲁珀特王子港的瑞德利岛丙烷出口终端（RIPET）。

该公司在一份声明中称，该工厂于4月中旬开始引入丙烷原料，第一批货物于2019年5月23日启运至亚洲。

2017年，AltaGas与日本丙烷进口和经销商Astomos能源公司签订了一项多年期协议，每年至少购买从RIPET终端运输的50%丙烷。

该工厂预计每年向亚洲客户运送大约120万吨丙烷。

AltaGas starts up Ridley Island propane export facility

Canada’s AltaGas has opened its propane export facility, the Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal (RIPET), located in Prince Rupert, British Columbia.

The facility began introducing propane feedstock in mid-April, and the first shipment departed the terminal on May 23, 2019 bound for Asia, the company said in a statement.

In 2017, AltaGas entered a multi-year agreement with Astomos Energy Corporation, a Japanese propane importer and distributor, to purchase at least 50 percent of the propane shipped from RIPET annually.

In total, the facility is expected to ship approximately 1.2 million tonnes of propane annually to customers in Asia.

The project is owned by a joint venture between AltaGas (as to a 70 percent interest) and a Canadian subsidiary of Royal Vopak (as to a 30 percent interest).
