Pulp closure
won't affect
local mills

TERRACE CHIP _ suppliers
should not be affected by plans to
close down part of Skeena Cel-
lulose’s Repap Prince Rupert
pulp mill operation, says mill
gencral manager Tom Boughner.

The company announced last
weck the ‘B’ mill at Prince
Rupert will not reopen after the
Christmas break and will remain
down until pulp demand and
prices warrant re-opening. —

Boughner said the mill would
slay down for three months,
“then we'll look at it again’’.

The shutdown will reduce pulp
production by more than a third,
from 1300 tonnes per day to
about 825 tonnes.

That, in tum will mean less
chips will be nceded.

Boughncr confirmed about 15
per cent of the current chip supp-
ly comes from the Terrace Repap
sawmill.

. The pulp mill also buys some
chips from Skeena Sawmills, the
West Fraser-owned operation

’ here.

However, he pointed out the

planned shutdown also included |

the woodroom operation in Prince
Rupert.

Since that supplied - approxi-
mately one-third the 20,000 cu.m.
of chips used each week, that
should offset the reduced require-
ment, he added.

Boughner said the closures will
put 250 people out of work,
reducing the company — and
community ~— payroll by approx-
imately $200,000 per week.

Workers in ‘the ‘B’ mill ‘with’ § -

sufficient seniority will ‘*bump’’
junior workers out of their posi-
tions in the ‘A’ mill except where

employees at ihe latter had
“specific qualifications for -
specifie jobs,’” he added.

Unfortunately, Boughner noted,
that essentially meant the younger
workers would be the ones laid
off, “‘the core of the next genera-
tion.”

While conceding mill opera-
tions for the first half of the year
had run better than ever before,

# your education at the same time.

he said the reality was without
that improved performance, “we
would have been in the ditch a lot
earlier.”

Depressed demand for pulp had
driven the list price of pulp down
to half the early 1990 level of
$840 (US) per tonne.

But heavy discounting and
dumping has resulted in pulp
prices of below $350 (US) per
tonne.

Those sort of prices means SCI
is losing money on every tonne it
produces, making the planned
shutdown unavoidable.
