Where History Meets New Opportunities
We are Newfoundland and Labrador’s primary and most advanced container terminal. We are also the primary offshore energy supply and service centre and a destination of choice for the cruise ship industry. And—true to our roots—we are one of the most active fish-handling ports in the province.
As innovators and entrepreneurs, the Port of St. John’s has evolved to become a strategic transportation hub and a powerful economic engine for our province.
The St. John's Port Authority (SJPA) plays a central role in both the day-to-day marine operations of the port and in planning its future. We are solutions-focused and discover new ways to innovate, collaborate, and improve to ensure we are moving forward as a community
