Western Canadian sulphur destined for international markets is processed into pellets or prills for efficient bulk transportation and storage. We operate a fleet of over 1,400 open-top gondola railcars, servicing nine inland facilities in British Columbia and Alberta, and manage the movement of loaded railcars to Vancouver for export.

Our robust assets, including a fleet of over 1,400 railcars and highly automated facilities, provide the reliability and capacity to meet your needs, regardless of scale.

At the port, sulphur is either stored in stockpiles or directly loaded onto vessels, with further quality testing conducted before shipping. We adhere to strict environmental regulations and industry policies, ensuring responsible handling and transport.
