The Port of Halifax has seen an increase in cargo traffic in recent weeks, as they try to accommodate shipments originally intended to route through the Port of Montreal. Halifax has seen the dramatic increase because it is one of the few ports on Canada’s East Coast that has the equipment, crews, and access to rail lines to handle the extra cargo. The port authority is using all its available space to house the additional cargo and the Port is prioritizing its regular customers who move cargo through the port continue to receive reliable, efficient service.
