/ Logistics Partnerships
Thanks to our partnerships, potash is transported from the heart of the prairies to customers all over the world.
Our Partnership with Canadian Pacific Kansas City
To ensure a rail connection, K+S Potash Canada partnered with Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC). Potash bound for port and domestic markets is transported by CPKC from the Bethune mine.
In spring 2017, CPKC completed a 30 km subdivision, a new line of rail that links Bethune mine to existing track near Belle Plaine. K+S Potash Canada also completed an additional 14 km of rail line that links CPKC’s new track to a loop at the potash mine’s loading facilities and 6 km of storage track adjacent to its line.
Our Partnership with Pacific Coast Terminals
K+S Potash Canada partnered with Pacific Coast Terminals (PCT) to help construct and operate their potash handling and storage facility at PCT’s bulk handling facility located in Port Moody, British Columbia, just outside of Vancouver.
The new state-of-the-art facility opened in 2017, and includes a railcar unloading building, 1260 meters of conveyor belts and a 362 meter-long storage shed for a total capacity of 160,000 tonnes of product.
Potash products arriving by rail from the Bethune mine are stored on PCT’s site and transported via vessels destined for K+S Group’s international clients.
