LNG Canada says a tanker has begun its journey across the Pacific to bring Canada’s first cargoes of liquefied natural gas to Asia.
The tanker GasLog Glasgow has departed Kitimat, B.C., in northern British Columbia.
British Columbia Coast Pilots say two of their members had previously boarded the tanker at Triple Island and navigated the vessel on a 15-hour, nearly 300-kilometre journey to Kitimat.

LNG is natural gas that has been chilled into a liquid state so that it can be transported in specialized marine vessels.
LNG Canada is a joint venture between Shell and four Asian partners and its first phase is expected to produce 14 million tonnes of gas a year.
It’s been billed by the federal government as the biggest private-sector investment in Canadian history — $40 billion between the port operation, the northeast B.C. gas fields supplying it and the pipeline in between.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 30, 2025.
