SAN FRANCISCO, July 18, 2001 (paperloop.com) - A source at Western Pulp Ltd. said this afternoon that its 255,000 tonne/yr northern bleached softwood kraft (NBSK) mill in Squamish, B.C., would remain shuttered until Aug. 1 due to weak market conditions. The downtime, which began June 1, is expected to clip about 46,000 tonnes of NBSK from the Vancouver-base firm's supplies, said the source.
