An Aframax tanker named Dubai Angel chartered by Suncor Energy is on its way to China from the Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby

The Dubai Angel, a tanker originating from South Korea, departs from the Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby on May 22.An Aframax tanker is heading its way to China from British Columbia after becoming the first vessel to load heavy oil from the newly expanded Trans Mountain pipeline system.

Suncor and the nine other petroleum companies on the TMX system have committed to take about 80 per cent of the capacity under deals lasting 15 to 20 years. With the addition of the pipeline system’s new capacity of 590,000 barrels a day of heavy crude, TMX will be able to handle a total of more than 890,000 barrels a day of oil and refined products.

The Prime Minister’s Office and the federal Finance Department did not respond to requests for comment on Thursday about the historic voyage of the Dubai Angel. The actual number of tankers in future will depend on oil economics and could be fewer than 20 per month because of the limited availability of Aframax vessels on the West Coast of North America, industry experts say.

But the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority said it will be ensuring the safe and efficient movement of ships.
