TransCanada Corporation (TSX:TRP) (NYSE:TRP) (TransCanada) announced today that it will proceed with construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline project (Coastal GasLink) after a decision to sanction the LNG Canada natural gas liquefaction facility in Kitimat, British Columbia (B.C.) was announced earlier today by the joint venture participants of LNG Canada, a consortium comprised of Shell, PETRONAS, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation and KOGAS (the LNG Canada Participants).

Demonstrating TransCanada’s near perfect pipeline safety record.

Sixty years ago, TransCanada recruited a "highly-trained crew of experts from around the world" to operate Station 41 and ensure its reliability. Today, that crew is made up of local, expertly trained technicians, who share the same values and dedication to the safe and reliable operation of TransCanada's namesake pipeline.
