Port Saint John is starting to feel the benefits of the infrastructure and supply chain upgrades at the DP World operated container terminal.

The port and its partners have reached an important milestone of 100,000 TEUs so far in 2022, which is the most throughput Port Saint John has experienced on an annual basis.

The port expects capacity to reach 800,000 TEUs upon completion of construction at the container terminal in the next couple of years.

The port offers weekly services through the port. The port now finds itself as the second fastest growing container port on the East Coast of North America with Class I rail reaching into key markets in North America.

“This momentous milestone marks the start of a new journey for Port Saint John as our growth trajectory is on track to place us as one of the top container ports in Canada,” says Craig Bell Estabrooks, president and CEO at Port Saint John.

“The alignment of our supply chain partners is a unique opportunity for shippers and receivers to experience world class service through Port Saint John.”
