In Indonesia, The Manila Times reported that DP World has begun full operations at its new Canola Oil Transload Facility at Fraser Surrey, in Canada.
The new facility enhances Canada’s export capacity and strengthens direct connectivity between farmers and international markets.
In 2024, Canada exported 3.5 million metric tons of canola oil, according to the report. With production concentrated in Saskatchewan (55%), Alberta (29%), and Manitoba (16%), efficient rail-to-port infrastructure is vital to maintaining global competitiveness, it added.
The new Fraser Surrey facility adds 1 million metric tons a year of capacity.
Doug Smith, CEO of DP World in Canada, said: “By streamlining the movement of oil from rail to vessel, this facility reduces handling, increases throughput, and improves reliability, providing Canadian producers with faster, more efficient access to global markets. The entire operation is designed to support the growing worldwide demand for Canadian canola oil – an essential ingredient in food, fuel, and renewable products.”
