- Westshore Terminals Investment Corporation (TSX: WTE), founded in 1970 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, owns all limited partnership units of Westshore Terminals Limited Partnership, which operates Canada's largest coal export terminal at Roberts Bank in Delta, British Columbia. The terminal provides train unloading, coal stockpiling, storage, and vessel loading services for metallurgical and thermal coal sourced from mines in British Columbia, Alberta, and the northwestern United States; coal arrives via unit trains, undergoes unloading and transfer processes, and is loaded onto seagoing vessels for export primarily to Japan, Korea, China, and other Asian markets as well as destinations worldwide, with annual capacity exceeding 33 million tonnes. Revenue derives from throughput charges for loading coal and other bulk commodities onto ships, serving major customers including Teck Resources and BHP; operations span North American coal producers with global export reach.
In recent developments, Westshore advances its potash expansion project under a 2021 agreement with BHP to handle shipments from BHP's Jansen Mine in Saskatchewan, having invested $545 million through 2024 (reimbursable by BHP up to a $1 billion cap subject to 5% holdback), with additional anticipated expenditures of $225 million from Q2 2026 through mid-2027 due to inflation and engineering delays. The project includes new rail offloading, enclosed storage, conveyor systems, and dual-purpose shiploaders capable of handling both potash (targeting 4.5 million tonnes annually) and coal from Berth 2; in January 2025, Westshore awarded a major contract to ALPINE for designing and supplying two shiploaders with proprietary chute systems, upstream conveyors, and demolition of existing equipment. In 2024, the terminal loaded 26.8 million tonnes of product, with 2025 projections announced in January; quarterly dividends continue, including $0.375 per share for Q1 2025.
