Saint John LNG Terminal

Saint John, NB · Private · Repsol · Bay of Fundy (at Mispec Point)

Saint John LNG (formerly Canaport LNG) is a liquefied natural gas receiving and regasification terminal on the north shore of the Bay of Fundy at Mispec Point, about 9 km southeast of Saint John, New Brunswick. Commissioned in 2008 as Canada's first LNG terminal (first shipment June 2009), it receives LNG by marine tanker, stores it in three onshore insulated tanks, and converts it back to natural gas using submerged combustion vaporizers, with a nominal send-out capacity of roughly 1.2 billion cubic feet per day capable of supplying about 20% of natural gas demand in northeastern North America. Originally a joint venture, it became wholly owned by Repsol subsidiaries in 2021 when Repsol bought out Irving Oil's 25% interest and renamed the facility; Repsol has studied converting it into an LNG export terminal. It sits on Irving-owned industrial waterfront outside the Port of Saint John Canada Port Authority limits.
