Terminal deal will guarantee an estimated 60 jobs in NV

WESTERN Stevedoring Ltd., operator of the North Shore’s Lynnterm deep sea terminal, has announced the securing of new pulp con- tracts worth $50 million over five years.

The contracts, announced Wednesday, June 16, will create up to 60 permanent jobs at the Lynaterm facility in North Van- couver, a Western Stevedoring spokesman confirmed.

The contracts are with MC Forest Products for the Alberta Pacific Pulp Mill, and Millar Western Pulp for its Whitecourt (Alberta) and Meadow Lake (Saskatchewan) mills.

‘It’s a tremendous opportunity for them,’’ said Jim O’Hara, vice-president of port promotion with the Vancouver Port Corp. “It’s an example of their ag- gressive marketing and it benefits the community.”’

O'Hara said pulp shipments go- ing through Lynnterm will in- crease from last year’s 600,000 tonnes to 850,000 tonnes this year and to 1.2 million tonnes in 1994.

The announcement coincided with the opening of a new 226,050-square-foot (21,000 sq.
