 The Strait of Canso Superport Corporation currently manages
two port facilities on the Strait of Canso:
......................................................................................................................
Mulgrave Marine Terminal
 
Mulgrave is situated on the western shore of the Strait of
Canso. The Mulgrave Marine Terminal is positioned in this
location to service the offshore oil and gas industry through
its strategic location, excellent infrastructure, skilled
workforce and supply base services. The Terminal also services a
range of marine cargo activities requiring warehousing and
laydown area at dockside.
Since its acquisition in 2000, the facility has undergone
three upgrades. The first was the reconstruction of the southern
berth of the Terminal. For this project, new steel sheet piles
were driven, new backfill was brought in and anchor bolts and
cables were replaced. The project was essential to the future of
the wharf because it provided safer and sturdier docking space
for the Terminal users. Currently, the Terminal is fully
functional and, because the Strait of Canso is ice free
throughout the winter, it is open for docking year-round. There
is 500 metres of docking space available at the Terminal, with 8
- 10 metre depths along the wharf face and over 4 acres of
laydown area dockside.
The second upgrade at the Mulgrave Marine Terminal was the
erection of an office and warehouse facility. Located directly
on the Marine Terminal, the 35,000 square foot building houses
two 10,000 square foot bays and two 7,500 square foot bays,
complete with warehouse and front office space. Individual
office space is also available for lease.
The third upgrade was to the security of the Terminal. The
International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code came
into effect in July 2004. All security precautions specified in
the Code have been put into effect at the Terminal.

Port Hawkesbury Pier
 
The Port Hawkesbury Pier is on the eastern side of the Strait
of Canso. Located adjacent to the Strait of Canso Yacht Club,
this facility offers excellent berth space for pleasure craft
and cruise ships.
The newly reconstructed pier offers 5-6 meter depths along
the wharf face. It provides berth space for various service
vessels, fishing boats, tugs, barges and patrol vessels.
