Partner with CN and PSA Halifax to get your goods to market faster! Halifax is the fastest growing container port in Atlantic Canada with fast and fluid inland service provided exclusively by CN.

Halifax is the closest North American gateway to Europe, Southeast Asia and the Indian Subcontinent: just 8 days from Antwerp, Belgium, 28 days from Singapore, and 21 days from Colombo, Sri Lanka. Benefit from highly competitive transit times to key North American consumer markets – including to the U.S. Midwest within 3 days! We work closely with the port, terminal operator (PSA), and transload providers, to provide fully integrated best-in-class service and deliver up to 1.5 days quicker than other East Coast ports.

Offering one of the lowest import container dwell times of North American ports, Halifax is the only eastern Canadian port with a natural deep harbour that can accommodate the largest container vessels. Investments in 10 mega ship-to-shore cranes and 18,000 feet of direct on-dock rail ensure swift container movement upon unloading.

High vessel productivity coupled with fast turnaround times mean containers make it quickly from ship to daily double-stack trains for direct service on CN’s fluid rail network. From the Port of Halifax, CN has the best transit times to Montreal, Toronto, and Chicago than from any other East Coast port – that’s the CN advantage!
