Prince Rupert Grain Terminal

The largest grain terminal on the West Coast.

With a capacity to ship in excess of seven million tonnes a year, Prince Rupert Grain’s modern terminal has the highest throughput of any grain-cleaning elevator in Canada.

Prince Rupert Grain owns and operates Canada’s largest grain terminal on the West Coast, handling primarily wheat, barley, and canola from the Canadian prairies. The facility has an annual export capacity in excess of seven million tonnes, offering the highest throughput rate of any grain terminal in Canada. Prince Rupert Grain Ltd. offers the best route for Canadian grain bound for Asian and Middle East markets. Opened in 1985, the terminal was built to improve Canada’s ability to export grain and oilseeds. Prince Rupert Grain handles wheat, barley, and canola shipped by rail directly from grain elevators on the prairies to the terminal. The terminal also processes and exports by-products such as grain screening pellets, feed screenings, mixed feed oats, and associated commodities.

This state-of-the-art terminal cleans grain as fast as it can be unloaded from rail cars, in excess of 13 cars per hour. The eight shipping bins and three tower-mounted loading spouts can load up to 4,000 tonnes an hour into vessels.
