Building a Stronger Community Together

The REEF project is the result of years of collaboration with Indigenous and local communities, alongside federal and provincial regulators, positioning Canada as an energy trading partner on the global stage. 

Our West Coast Advantage

The REEF project is uniquely positioned to be one of the quickest routes to Asian markets with only 10-11 shipping days compared to a minimum 25-days from the U.S. Gulf Coast. We call this our “West Coast Advantage.”  

The Port of Prince Rupert provides REEF with year-round ice-free operations and has one of the deepest natural harbours in North America, meaning it can accommodate the world’s largest vessels.
