G3 Global Holdings, a limited partnership between Bunge Canada and SALIC Canada Ltd., announced the opening of G3 Terminal Vancouver at the Port of Vancouver on Canada’s West Coast.

"The facility is designed with a focus on high-velocity grain receiving, shipping and best-in-class environmental and safety standards and is expected to handle a variety of crops including wheat, durum, barley, canola, soybeans and more," the company says in a statement.

G3 Terminal Vancouver has a storage capacity of 180,000 metric tonnes.

Due to Covid-19, G3 is setting aside plans for a grand opening event at G3 Terminal Vancouver.

"We will miss the opportunity to celebrate with our customers, partners and other guests but ensuring health and safety is of prime importance. Staff is working at the facility with physical distancing and hygiene measures in place," says Don Chapman, President and CEO of G3.
