Port terminals

Drayage at the Port of Saint John, Explained

Saint John is New Brunswick's Atlantic container port, on the Bay of Fundy and its 8-metre tides. Its West Side container terminal came through a major rebuild, and local drayage is mostly port-to-warehouse work around the city and up the river valley.

DP World Saint John (West Side)

The Rodney/West Side container terminal — new cranes and a deepened berth after a multi-year modernization.

NB Southern Railway

The Irving-owned short line that links the port to the CN network via McAdam and the Maine gateway.

Container volumes are well below Halifax, so the carrier pool is regional and most providers treat Saint John and Moncton as one service area rather than separate markets.

Say whether the move starts at the Saint John terminal or a Moncton yard — the two cities are about 90 minutes apart on Route 1, and that drive is most of the price.

Rail connection

Moncton: New Brunswick's Rail and Highway Crossroads

Moncton is the Hub City — the point where the routes to Nova Scotia, PEI and the rest of New Brunswick meet. CN runs its Atlantic operations from here, so drayage is rail- and highway-distribution work rather than port drayage.

CN Gordon Yard

CN's principal Moncton classification and intermodal yard, and its Atlantic regional base.

Caledonia Industrial Park

The main warehousing and cross-dock cluster feeding the three Maritime provinces.

Because carriers here often cover both Saint John and Moncton, coverage area and equipment tend to matter more than a single terminal name when you compare them.
