Trans Mountain operates Canada’s only pipeline system transporting oil products to the West Coast. We deliver approximately 890,000 barrels of petroleum products each day through a pipeline system of more than 1,180 kilometres of pipeline in Alberta, British Columbia and 111 kilometres of pipeline in Washington state.
Trans Mountain also operates a state-of-the-art loading facility, Westridge Marine Terminal, with three berths providing tidewater access to global markets.
Pipeline safety is our number one priority, and through the experience gained in more than 70 years of operation, Trans Mountain has developed a mature suite of programs to maximize pipeline safety. The most critical and responsible emergency preparedness strategy is spill prevention. However, in the case of a spill, we are prepared to respond quickly with detailed emergency procedures and trained professionals. We are committed to transparency involving spills that have occurred along its lines. Spills are reported and this information is publicly available.
The people who work for with us are dedicated and passionate. In some cases, multiple generations within a family have worked on the pipeline. Safety of the public, the environment and their colleagues is critically important for everyone who works at Trans Mountain.
