Intec moe-Bruert mtece since 17

Westem Stevedoring Com-
pany Limited of Vancouver,
BC. has applied to the Van-
couver Port Corporation for a
developmerdt permit ta conr-
struct a woodpulp transit
warehouse at the Lynnterm
deep sea terminal Jocated at
15 Mountain Highway in
North Vancouver.

The apptication has been fil-
ed as a result of Western
Stevedaring’s successful bid
for two fongterm woodpulp
handling contracts which will
generate an estimated fifteen
fo twenty percent increase in
fong-term employment at
Lynntaim. in addition. con-
struction will be handled by a
North Vancouver firm pro-
viding numerous tocal jcds.

The 27,000 square meter
warehouse wiil be used for
storage and transter of wood-
pulp. Its focation in the
southwest quadrant of the
Lynnterm property would en-
tail the realignment of rai!
tracks on the Lynniterm pro-
perty to accommedate the
unloading of woodpulp from
railcars into the warehouse
for subsequent loacting to out-

bound ocean vessels.

As Western Canada’s
foremost handler of forest
products, Western Stevedor-
ing has been the service con-
tractor for Lynnterm since
1977, a 33 hectare forest pro-
ducts and generai cago ter-
minal owned by the Van-
couver Pori Corporation.
