The regulator said Tuesday it has approved the last remaining"leave to open" applications submitted by Trans Mountain Corp., the Crown corporation behind the project. Approval of these applications was required before the expanded pipeline could begin shipping oil.
However, due to logistics and marine timing, the first transport ship is not expected to load with oil from the new line for export until the middle of May, a Trans Mountain Corp. spokesperson said. The project — which was bought by the federal government in 2018 after Kinder Morgan threatened to scuttle the project in the wake of ongoing Indigenous and environmental opposition — twins the existing Trans Mountain oil pipeline system from Alberta to the B.C. coast.
But the pipeline's construction was marred by delays and cost overruns, ultimately taking four years to build and racking up a total cost of more than $34 billion.
