CN is still a cult! And they're bein' infiltrated by Chinese!

CN, CNBM Forest Products Trading Ltd. strike deal for B.C. lumber export supply chain PDF Print E-mail
Friday, August 12, 2011

Canadian National and China's CNBM Forest Products Trading Ltd. have reached an agreement to use CN's new lumber transload facility in Vancouver to increase the supply chain capacity for Canadian lumber exports.

CN is scheduled to start operation of the lumber container export facility at its Thornton Yard in Surrey, B.C., in the fall of 2011. It will have an initial footprint of eight acres and throughput capacity of approximately 10,000 containers per year, with room to grow up to 20 acres. The facility, supplied with rail cars of lumber originating in communities in British Columbia, will make it easier to transport lumber to export markets in China.

"Lumber exports to China now account for close to 25 percent of the western Canadian total and are expected to continue to increase at a fast pace in the years to come," said Jean-Jacques Ruest, executive vice president and chief marketing officer of CN. "CN aims to foster a world-class export supply chain for Canadian lumber in cooperation with CNBM Forest Products Trading, lumber producers in B.C. and ocean shipping lines serving Port Metro Vancouver."

"It is imperative that we align expected demand with appropriate facilities and ocean capacity to accommodate the growth we see coming over the next few years," said Ken Kao, general manager of CNBM Forest Products Trading Shanghai. "We are pleased to be able to conclude an agreement with CN on capacity at the new Thornton transload facility.

"CN continues to be a very important component of our global supply chain. With its access to both the ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert and its commitment to support transload infrastructure, we can continue to meet our strategic growth objectives for the China market."

CN also plans to increase lumber transload capacity at its Prince George Distribution Center to more than 30,000 containers annually. The facility was built in 2007 to support Port of Prince Rupert export opportunities.

Ruest said, "We are confident that, together, CN and its transload facilities, CNBM Forest Products Trading, lumber mills and ports in B.C. and ocean shipping lines can help spur increased economic activity and job creation in the province through a highly-efficient supply chain that will help meet increasing demand for lumber in China."

Living on the "pipeline" for Canadian lumber entering the states
my whole life, I can say more lumber than you can ever imagine
has come from Canada (BC) over the years. China getting into
the big picture and the decline of everything in the USA will
change the direction of this bountiful harvest.

You will see more and more Canadian lumber go everywhere BUT the USA. With the bullshit surrounding the tarriffs softwood lumber and "trade agreements" between Canada and the US, Canuck lumber companies and province's will seek other markets. The boom of lumber being exported in recent months has put alot of overtime in my direction. The facility mentioned above is very interesting as it's far enough the river that only shallow draft ships can dock. We'll see what happens. Japan has been been quiet recently in regards to lumber and once their earthquake issues have settled, I think we will see more lumber exported their way. Mind you, Japanese companies have a poor reputation in regards to lumber exports as they played a number of games over the years in regards to " not the quality we agreed to" after it has landed in Japan, despite the fact their inspector in Canada agreed to it.

How about this, they learn our lingua franca for a change? Over here the majority of us speak either Canadin English, or American English. When they start calling in whatever they've invested in Mexico, if they've done so... You get the picture!

I don't care ta buy anything made in China. I try ta buy local as much as possible, and shun...boycott seriously, big box type stores selling Chinese made anything!

Fuck China! We ain't Chinese. We're North Americans. Proud of it tu! Let's keep our culture, our traditions, our soul!
