CANADIAN Pacific and Hapag-Lloyd have announced an additional call into Port Saint John, News Brunwick, via a seasonal extra loader in another step forward for the growing Atlantic Canada port.
This additional call follows their inaugural service call into Port Saint John in May 2021, connecting via CP rail service to inland markets in Canada and the United States.
John Brooks, CP executive vice-president and chief marketing officer, said: "Port Saint John offers a congestion-free gateway to Canadian and US markets. In combination with DP World, CP's East Coast Advantage provides the fastest and most reliable transit into Montreal, Toronto and Chicago."
CP regained access to Port Saint John in June 2020 with the strategic acquisition of the Central Maine & Quebec Railway, which has connections with the Eastern Maine and New Brunswick Southern railways.
This vital link to Port Saint John provides the shortest route between Atlantic Canada and North American inland markets, including a 269-mile advantage over our competition to Montreal, Toronto and Chicago, creating value for shippers across North America.
Uffe Ostergaard, president of Hapag-Lloyd Americas, said: "This seasonal product will be particularly beneficial in connecting customers in inland locations in the US Midwest and throughout Canada with key North European ports."
Port Saint John has embarked on an enhanced modernisation programme that will increase container capacity to 800,000 TEU and provide additional on-dock rail capacity in the coming months and years.
