CP Honors 59 Safe Shippers
Written by Carolina Worrell, Senior Editor
Canadian Pacific (CP) has presented its annual Safe Shipper Award to 59 customers for “safely transporting hazardous materials by rail in 2021.”
Recipients of the annual award transported at least 500 carloads of hazmat (non-intermodal) in 2021 with zero non-accidental release (NAR) incidents, according to the railroad.
(A hazmat NAR is the unintentional release of a hazardous material while in transportation, including loading and unloading while in railroad possession, that is not caused by a derailment, collision or other rail-related accident, CP noted.)
Among the winners are Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP, Dow Chemical, Grain Processing Corp., HTP Energy, and Valero Marketing and Supply Co. For a list of all winners, click here.
“Safety is foundational to everything we do at CP,” said CP Vice President of Sales and Marketing Coby Bullard. “We are proud to collaborate with all participants in the supply chain that are working every day to prevent releases and safeguard the communities where we all live and work. These companies share our commitment to the safe transportation of essential products on our rail network. We must continue to collaborate and recognize safe rail shipping practices, with the goal of continuing to be the safest railway in North America,” Bullard added.
