SURREY, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA — Fraser Grain Terminal Ltd., a joint venture of Parrish and Heimbecker Ltd. and Paterson GlobalFoods Inc., has proposed plans to build a grain export facility along the Fraser River in Surrey, British Columbia.

The proposed grain terminal would be used to trans-ship bulk grain products, including wheat, barley, oil seeds, pulses and other specialty grains with annual capacity of 4 million tonnes.

The proposed project would include the construction of 34 above-ground steel storage silos, a traveling shiploader, a semi-loop rail track, a container loading facility and storage yard, a rail and truck loading facility, and an administration building and maintenance shop.

“Our project will receive grains by rail and load the agri-products on to cargo vessels,” Fraser Grain Terminal said. “It will support Canadian farmers, increase efficiency in grain exports and build strong business relationships with customers around the world.”
