👀 "Marilyn Slett, president of the Coastal First Nations-Great Bear Initiative, said that there is no pipeline or oil tanker project that would be acceptable to their group, and any proposal to send crude oil through their coastal waters is a "non-starter."

📣 🧵 Today, Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs filed a formal complaint against the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) for financing LNG Canada, a massive fracked gas project built without their consent on unceded territory in so-called British Columbia.

Can you believe they want to put LNG Tankers here?
A Screenshot of Marine Traffic showing the past track for the PUTERI SEJINJANG coming into Kitimat from the Great Bear Sea.
Aaaand here is the PUTERI SEJINJANG route taken through Douglas Channel- lots of sharp turns and navigation hazards
A screenshot of Vessel Finder with an orange arrowhead representing the LNG Tanker PUTERI SEJINJANG navigating into the great bear sea. The map shows both Alaska and Haida Gwaii, as well as islands and vessels near Prince Rupert
Now we can mark the PUTERI SEJINJANG coming into the Great Bear Sea.
Tankers in rapid succession, if not simultaneously, is the goal for exporters despite how dangerous it may be for the rest of us and how harmful to wildlife the situation is becoming.

Screenshot of Marine Traffic showing the red arrowhead representing the GASLOG GLASGOW LNG Tanker heading west out of Dixon Entrance and a pop up with the ship's picture, reported ETA (KR INC, 2025-07-20 09:01), draught (11.8m), speed (15.5Kn) and course, and navigational status (Underway Using Engine).
Screenshot of Marine Traffic showing the past track of the GASLOG GLASGOW from Kitimat. The track shows a fairly steady speed through a variety of sharp turns and navigation around islands in Douglas Channel and Hecate Strait.
Annndddd....Here is the tracking from the first LNG Tanker presumed to be full of fracked gas, as it heads out to cross the Pacific.
Tankers like this enable 12 billion metric tonnes of pollution globally each year.
LNG is fracking
LNG is pollution
LNG is dangerous
Screenshot of marine traffic showing the past track feature of the GASLOG GLASGOW - the past track shows a swiftly moving trajectory around and sometimes seemingly through Islands, up Douglas Channel to Kitimat. This corresponds to point 1
Screenshot of Marine Traffic showing two arrowheads one blue, one red the red is implied to be the GASLOG GLASGOW, the Blue is shown in a pop up to be the cruise ship NORWEGIAN ENCORE, around the two central arrowheads is some ocean space, some other smaller arrowheads representing other vessels, and islands of Lax Kwaxl/Dundas and Melville Islands Conservancy, and the edge of the label for Chatham Sound. This corresponds to point 2
A screenshot of Marine Traffic showing the red arrowhead implied to be the GASLOG GLASGOW, and a small teal coloured arrowhead representing the HAISEA WARRIOR tug boat as indicated by a pop up. This corresponds to point 3
Here are a few interesting points in the past track for the GASLOG GLASGOW:
1) Lots of sharp turns and narrow passageways to navigate around islands
2) Looks like a cruise ship got quite close - hopefully not something that will happen once it is full of LNG
3) I spotted a tug near the ship
POV: When even fossil fuel companies are getting off fossil fuels, it's time to celebrate!
And then it is time to keep the pressure up to make sure that the good ideas keep catching.
This twin tanker arrival, including prolonged stay offshore is a sign of things to come as tankers are scheduled to pile up quickly in the coming years:

A screenshot of the website vesselfinder.com with the tacking for the LNG Tanker GASLOG GLASGOW. The past teack shows a line tracing a rectangular past tracking of the ship. Now the orange arrowhead representing thw current location is pointed eastward towards Dixon Entrance and entering the great bear sea. Visible in the screenshot are the northern most tip of Haida Gwaii and southern Prince of Wales Island, as well as some other more faint arrowheads representing other vessels
There is another tanker hanging around off the coast - the GASLOG GLASGOW has been doing donuts, presumed empty, and also presumed waiting to take on Dixon Entrance.
It's last publicly known stop was over a month ago.

A screen shot of marinetraffic.com (a website where you can track vessels around the world), showing the Bering Sea, and the Pacific Ocean off the West Coast of Canada with many blue arrowheads indicating the location of vessels and one red arrowhead showing the position of the tanker expected to be the first to fill up at LNG Canada
Today the first tanker set to fill up at LNG Canada is coming closer, and the impacts in Kitimat are clearly starting up.
The flare, like the Eye of Sauron, is hard to escape.

Most of the gas that gets turned into LNG from BC is coming from fracking - an incredibly destructive and polluting extraction practice

Always worth bringing good information to those who could act on it!
Ports, Pilotage Authorities, and coastal municipalities/communities might find this useful as well.
While we wait for the arrival - there are plenty of things to consider:
Like how tankers are enabling pollution -

This week I'm watching this particular LNG Tanker crossing the Pacific.
Tradewinds reported that it will be the first to fill up at LNG Canada, marking the beginning of an enormous continuous source of carbon pollution
www.tradewindsnews.com/gas/petronas...
Today we delivered a petition representing over 10,000 people calling on the BC government to reject Tilbury LNG - LNG is a disaster in waiting for the climate, for the community, and for wildlife.
Would offshore be provincial jurisdiction, or federal in Canada?
"We thought geological differences within provinces would matter more, but the dominant factors appear to be at the provincial scale, likely due to variations in policy and operational practices."
As the planet burns.
Canada has the 3rd highest child asthma rate caused by pollution in the world.
Air pollution kills 34,000 people die in Canada every year.
8.7 million people die around the world.
More than deaths from smoking.
And Canada is going all in on fossil fuel burning.

Is it time the critical habitat of #endangered killer whales be expanded to include their prey base - Chinook #salmon rivers? Protecting these rivers is directly linked to the recovery of Southern Resident killer whales. #OrcaActionMonth

It is very apt that I got the first heat warning of the season on the same afternoon as the PRGT news -
Fossil fuels have no place in a liveable future
Climate risk IS financial risk.
The Trump regime’s attacks on our climate & communities makes it even more important to act at the municipal level.
It’s time for us to reclaim our economy from these bully billionaires.
Together, the power of the many defeats their corrupt money.
Defund Pollution
The Dutch government has taken a significant step to protect their waterways: seagoing vessels will soon be prohibited from discharging scrubber wastewater into Dutch ports and inland waters.
The rule especially targets the use of open loop scrubbers —

What new horror is this?
Not a floating hotel but a floating city.
8,000 passengers plus 2,350 crew at full capacity, powered by LNG, a climate catastrophe!
#cruiseships
It’s only May. MAY. And already, fast-moving out-of-control wildfires have driven both Saskatchewan and Manitoba to declare states of emergency.
Over 17,000 residents evacuated. Our hearts are with the victims.💔
