Canaport LNG

Canaport LNG is a state-of-the-art LNG receiving and regasification terminal in Saint John, NB, and is the first LNG terminal in Canada, sending out natural gas to both Canadian and U.S. markets. It has a maximum send out capacity of 1.2 billion cubic feet (BCF) or 28 million cubic metres of natural gas per day, enough to heat 5 million homes. LNG arrives by ship and is regasified, then distributed via the Brunswick Pipeline.

Construction began in 2005. The first LNG shipment was received in 2009. A third tank was completed in 2010. In 2021, Repsol achieved 100% ownership.
