Port of Sheet Harbour & Industrial Park

The Port of Sheet Harbour is located in the community of Sheet Harbour on the
Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia. The community is part of the Halifax Regional
Municipality and is positioned within a short commute of New Glasgow, Stellarton,
and Truro.

The port has many competitive features, including its location adjacent to the Sheet
Harbour Industrial Park. The Port is well suited for marine and resource-based
industry, manufacturing, and transshipment. Companies have already established
processing and shipping facilities here as a competitive alternative to other
locations.

Capacity, cost, access to skilled labour, ground transportation, and proximity to key
industrial centres within Nova Scotia make the port an attractive option for
international exporters and importers.
