Mercer International announces temporary curtailment of Celgar pulp mill in Canada
Print

CANADA (News release) -- Mercer International Inc. announced the temporary curtailment of operations at its Celgar pulp mill located in Castlegar, British Columbia, Canada, including wood acceptance. The curtailment is currently scheduled to become effective July 29, 2023, until August 28, 2023.

This temporary curtailment results from a significant loss of rail transport capacity resulting from the Vancouver port job action. The job action has led to a complete halt in railcar circulation, severely impacting the mill's ability to transport pulp.

President and CEO, Juan Carlos Bueno, expressed, "Regrettably, we are not able to run the mill economically until rail operations resume regular services. We currently expect the curtailment to persist for about a month."

Mercer International Inc. is a global forest products company with operations in Germany, the USA and Canada with an annual production capacity of 2.3 million tonnes of pulp, 960 million board feet of lumber, 210 thousand cubic meters of cross-laminated timber, 45 thousand cubic meters of glulam, 17 million pallets and 150,000 metric tonnes of wood pellets.
