The first tanker carrying liquefied natural gas for the new Canaport L-N-G terminal is due Monday. The tank will under go a cooling process once the shipment arrives. The flare will be visible near the seaside of the terminal located off Red Head Road for up to 10 days. Energy Minister Jack Keir says this marks the start of Saint John being the energy hub.
The second natural gas tank will be operational next month with the third and final tank accepting product by the end of the year.
