Canpotex Ltd.’s potash shipping terminal in Portland, Ore., is expected to be running by the end of 2023, according to Nutrien Ltd. in its Nov. 2 earnings call.
Canpotex on May 3 reported a conveyor failure at the company’s 4 million mt/y Portland Bulk Terminal. The company said there were no injuries or environmental impacts resulting from the incident, but Nutrien CEO Ken Seitz said in May that the structural failure at the terminal would take months to resolve (GM May 19, p. 1). Seitz said there were multiple alternatives, including Canada’s East Coast and the US Gulf Coast.
