Marine Atlantic announces huge infrastructure investment

FerryCanadian ferry operator Marine Atlantic announced approximately CAD 270 million in Nova Scotia infrastructure investments. The investment is as part of a new multi-year capital infrastructure program to modernize critical shore-side infrastructure, improve service reliability and support the long-term delivery of safe, efficient ferry service between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador. The program will renew and expand key marine transportation infrastructure, and long-term operational resilience.

Planned improvements are expected to enhance terminal efficiency, strengthen service continuity, and improve the customer experience. In Newfoundland and Labrador, planned work includes ramp upgrades in Argentia, dock extensions and auto-mooring upgrades in Port aux Basques, electrical improvements to support shore power in both ports, and navigation improvements in Port aux Basques Harbour, including the planned removal of Vardy’s Rock.

These investments build upon approximately CAD 80 million in dock and terminal investments in North Sydney. In North Sydney, this investment includes dock extensions and auto-mooring upgrades, along with electrical improvements to support shore power. These investments will help modernize the North Sydney terminal property, improve loading and unloading capacity, and support more efficient connections for customers and commercial traffic using Marine Atlantic’s ferry service.
