Overview

• Woodfibre LNG has formally applied to regulators for approval to moor a second floating accommodation vessel at its Squamish site.
• The proposed floatel would house 900 skilled workers, complementing the existing MV Isabelle X, and support the project's accelerated timeline.
• Bridgemans Services Group, which retrofitted the first floatel, is set to deliver and operate the second vessel to similar standards if approved.
• The first floatel has reportedly reduced impacts on local housing and traffic, but community groups and environmental advocates remain opposed to the expansion.
• Upon completion in 2027, the facility is expected to produce 2.1 million tonnes of LNG annually, diversifying Canada’s energy exports to Asia.
