Western LNG has awarded offshore contractor Allseas the installation contract for the critical subsea section of the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission pipeline, marking a major step forward for energy export infrastructure in northwest Canada. The contract covers the final segment of a 700-kilometer (435-mile) pipeline system built to transport Canadian natural gas from interior production fields to the planned Ksi Lisims floating liquefied natural gas export facility on Pearse Island. The subsea line will serve as the vital link connecting the main onshore transmission network directly to the offshore export terminal, with the offshore installation scheduled to begin in 2029. Western LNG selected Allseas due to the company's track record in managing complex subsea installations under harsh offshore conditions. Once operational, the completed pipeline system will unlock a major direct route to international Pacific markets for Canadian natural gas suppliers.
