About this buyer

Federal port authority operating as a landlord port — it develops, manages and leases Port of Halifax land and infrastructure rather than handling cargo itself. Rail-served by Canadian National, with on-dock rail at both container terminals operated by PSA Halifax — the Atlantic Hub (formerly the South End Container Terminal) and Fairview Cove — which received their first electric, remotely operated rail-mounted gantry cranes in May 2026. The largest rail-adjacent buyer tracked in Nova Scotia: Transport Canada's National Trade Corridors Fund contributed C$24,000,000 to the Inter-Terminal Rail Solution, whose Total Authorized Cost the port's own audited financial statements give as C$77,576,000 at 31 December 2024 (launched 2019; an earlier trade-press estimate put the total at C$105 million; trade press separately reports an expected completion in late 2027, not itself published by the port), and the Green Shipping Corridor Program contributed up to C$22,500,000 in February 2025 toward a Halifax-Hamburg green corridor package whose elements include an electric rail locomotive and a road-to-rail freight incentive programme.
