Our past is our present
For more than 500 years, the Port of St. John’s has been a vital service centre for the fishing industry: today is no different.
With unbeatable access to prime fishing grounds and a highly skilled workforce, it’s no wonder that our port is home to thriving piers that see millions of pounds of fish handled each year, and more than 700 small commercial vessels docking annually. We are pleased to be able to offer the fishing industry highly efficient dockside capabilities, especially with the recent completion of the Pier 20 facility, as well as access to a diverse supply and service network that enables quick turnarounds.
The port is one of the largest fish-handling ports in Newfoundland and Labrador and is connected to a vast supply and service network offering:
