ANC Transloading has entered into a working agreement with Premay Pipe Hauling LP and as a result of this agreement 16 rail cars of 54″ pipe were transloaded at ANC Transload’s Whitecourt facility. We are very excited with this new working relationship as it assists us with diversification of products being handled at our Transload locations. The two ANC Transload sites Whitecourt and Marsh Head which is just off of Hwy 947 south are very strategically located for the anticipated pipeline projects in this area. Not only are we able to offer track space for the rail cars of pipe, but we also have sufficient space to be able to also offer pipe laydown areas. Currently we have over 25 acres occupied as pipe laydown areas between our two locations.
