RE:RE:Ferndale Port -- Petrogas/Altagas Facilityrfguysd, I think there are two wharfs there. One Ferndale and the other Alcoa Intalco.
Vesselfinder only shows ferndale while marinetraffic shows both.

The port at Ferndale is idle except for the LPG tankers filling propane for Altagas. Ferndale could definately take on more exports to approach nameplate capacity. Recall the wharf was jointly shared with Intelco but Intelco has recently shutdown . I would think some capital spending to increase throughput might be a wise approach here.
Nameplate capacity 50k/day
Export license : 46k/day
Calculated rate of export :30k/day
