CAMPBELL RIVER, BC — Amix Marine Services, which has been providing tugs, barges and other resources to the marine community in Campbell River, is now crossing into Port Alberni’s waters. Amix recently bought 45 acres on the Port Alberni waterfront from Western Forest Products for $7.3 million and plans to move operations over the course of the summer and make the city its home port by this fall. Amix employed 20 people in Campbell River but the ripple effects of its loss will be felt by suppliers and businesses that support the city’s marine sector as a whole. …Port Alberni was attractive to Amix because of the opportunity to expand on property it owned, rather than be limited to the 6.4 acres it’s been leasing in Campbell River. …Amix’s loss will be offset by a variety of major projects rooted in the resource and clean energy sector.
