Atlantic Gateway - Halifax Logistics Park

From Ship To Shelf

In today's global marketplace, nothing gets products to customers faster, safer, or more securely than transloading. It provides a vital competitive edge in the supply chain for many of today’s retailers, importers, exporters, and business owners. The new Atlantic Gateway – Halifax Logistics Park is the right choice for your global transload operations.

The Halifax Logistics Park is located inside the Burnside Business Park.

  • Phase One of the park has already attracted large anchor tenants engaged in transloading, distribution, and warehousing activities
  • New lots of serviced acreage are available for immediate acquisition. Lots can be customized to fit your distribution needs
  • Street turning radius designed to accommodate long combination vehicles (LCV). Currently, one of only two approved inbound/outbound LCV operating routes in Nova Scotia

Strengths of transloading product through Halifax

Transloading through Halifax has significant advantages, including:

  • Products can reach regional distribution centres or arrive direct-to-store faster, cheaper, and safely. Unload, sort and transfer imports for local distribution—and re-load exports.
  • No need to ship empty containers. The Port of Halifax has an excellent supply of marine containers for regional exporters sending cargoes to Asia, Europe, and the Mediterranean.
  • Using drayage service to and from the port means faster turnaround, with lower costs and improved transit times.
