The port is what makes it all happen .....5. Port Development / International Trade Investments The 21st century is off to a good start for Kitimat - the community that anchors both an international deep sea private port and one of only two wide, flat valleys on the coast of Western Canada. Enbridge Inc., Sandhill Materials Inc., EnCana and Kitimat LNG have all assessed Kitimat’s merit carefully against the Port of Prince Rupert and urban sites near the Port of Vancouver. All four industrial enterprises chose Kitimat. *The intent of these companies is now to join other globally competitive corporations* *located in this secret part of Canada – whom incidentally – have collectively over* *100 years of successful, safe trading to and from Pacific Rim and global markets.* *In coming to Kitimat, Enbridge and friends will be joining one of the largest* *industrial complexes in British Columbia.* The attraction to Kitimat may well be based on its sustainable competitive advantages: ? Kitimat is the closest inland international port to Asia for all outbound Western Canada trade. ? Kitimat is the furthest inland international port from Asia for all inbound North America trade. o Kitimat to Chicago CN rail distance is on par with that of Vancouver but has a 30 hour premium service advantage to the heartland of North America. ? Transport costs on water are – by great magnitude – far less than those on land. o By keeping product on water as long as possible - transportation and import costs are kept to minimum. ? Kitimat is the only location and Private Port on the Pacific Coast of Western Canada that matches the inland port economic advantages globally recognized in locations such as China’s Yangtze River, the Mississippi River, Port Cartier on the St. Lawrence Seaway/Great Lakes Marine System, and the Strait of Canso with Port Hawkesbury/Point Tupper (Richmond County)...... kitimat.ca
