Woodfibre LNG has been issued an order to house workers who are currently living at 'unauthorized locations” on the so-called floatel.
RELATED: The company behind the liquid natural gas project near Squamish is showing off its controversial 'floatel' to house its workers, after Squamish council rejected the facility.
Woodfibre LNG had yet to move the ship from Nanaimo or relocate any workers onto the floatel as it awaits a Temporary Use Permit from the District of Squamish. However, the province’s inspection says any worker who did not live in the District of Squamish before Sept. 20, 2023 must be housed on the floatel.Approximately 300 workers are living a camp in Port Mellon and another 30 are staying at hotels in Squamish. Around 41 workers who live in a leased building in Squamish are exempt from the order and 87 more workers live elsewhere.
The ship will now move from Vancouver to Howe Sound where it will remain until the terminal is completed in 2027. Woodfibre LNG is licensed to export about 2.1 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas a year for the next 40 years from a former pulp mill about seven kilometres south of Squamish.
