Marine Berth

The marine berth will be capable of securing the rail barge and distribution barge.

Rail Barge

Wolverine will use the existing, under-utilized Aquatrain loading ramp at the Port of Prince Rupert to load rail cars onto the rail barge. The rail barge is designed to be compatible with the existing Aquatrain Terminal loading ramp. The barge will be able to accommodate up to 24 rail tank cars on deck. 142 metres in length.

The barge is an inherently safe design with a double hull and spill prevention under each rail car. Additionally, there will be a peripheral coaming surrounding the entire deck. There will also be spill response equipment on board, as well as a floating containment boom surrounding the barge.

Motorized engines will be equipped with residential mufflers for noise suppression. Odour and air emissions will conform to industry best standards. Light emissions will be minimized through the use of flat lens light standards.

Fuel Distribution Barge

The fuel distribution barge design will conform to industry best practices and will minimize air, noise, and light emissions.

The fuel distribution barge will have a capacity of approximately 4,800 metric tonnes and measure approximately 78 metres in length.

The barge will be equipped with a deck mounted container with spill response equipment for rapid deployment. The fuel distribution barge will be a modern double-hulled vessel. Motorized engines will be designed to best industry standards to minimize noise and air emissions. The fuel tanks will meet the requirements set out in the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), as well as Transport Canada regulations.
