The Halifax Port Authority is continuing with its master planning exercise to prepare for the arrival of “ultra-class” containerized vessels of over 10,000 TEU, large-scale industrial mega projects, increasing larger cruise vessels, plus how the Halifax Seaport District can complement the urban growth and revitalization currently underway in downtown Halifax and Dartmouth.

SPRING 2017 || 5 PORTSIDE NOTES Planning for the future

In a recent speech, Canadian transport minister Marc Garneau touted the Trudeau government’s efforts to innovate and build for the industry’s future, highlighting a $10.1-billion transportation infrastructure fund. “Canada has the longest coastline in the world,” he said. “It allows our businesses to trade with the other countries of the world, in emerging and established markets.” Garneau focused on the government’s Oceans Protection Plan, which aims to get tough on polluters and reduce the risk of accidents. “As a trading nation, as a country that is open to the world, our coastlines are essential to our economy,” he said. “Canadian jobs depend on our ability to access and serve the markets of Asia and Europe. That’s how many of our commodities and processed goods reach buyers around the world.” The plan is a pillar of the government’s efforts to transform Canada’s transportation system. “To ensure it is resilient, versatile and innovative enough to handle our current needs, and the growing and shifting demands of tomorrow,” he said. Garneau also pointed to a specific effort to improve safety for East Coast seafarers. “We will be reopening the Maritime Rescue Sub- Centre in St. John’s [N.L.],” he said, “increasing the overall search and rescue capability in the region and providing important local knowledge that will allow response to be more effective.” ✱ Marc Garneau PHOTO: SUBMITTED PHOTO:

This year, six cruise lines will visit Halifax for as we will see this year but all indicators are we will continue to see the first time. Making their first visits to the port will be the Mein strong growth in the coming years,” she says. Schiff 6 (TUI Cruises), Norwegian Jade (Norwegian Cruise Line), Silver Dennis Campbell is CEO of Ambassatours Gray Line, offering Muse (ultra-luxury flagship of Silversea Cruises), Victory 11 (Victory tours to those cruise visitors. “Those of us fortunate enough to live Cruises), plus Viking’s new vessels Viking Sea and Viking Sky. The here know how special our region is,” he says. “What drives us is the largest ship scheduled to visit this year is Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas, which carries 4,180 passengers. Halifax will greet royalty again this year with four visits scheduled for Cunard’s Queen Mary 2. Her first call will be June 30. Also returning is the popular Disney Magic on Oct. 26. The fall is the busiest time of the Port’s cruise schedule with several multi-ship days such as Sept. 14 with five ships in port and Oct. 3, which will be the busiest day with over 11,000 passengers expected, plus crew. In 2014 the Halifax Port Authority installed shore power so cruise ships can hook up to power while in port and cut smokestack emissions. The feature is getting more use each year with 30 potential connections this year. On the cargo side, 2016 was the most productive year for container cargo in a decade. Halifax handled 480,722 TEU, an increase of 14.9 per cent over 2015. Container tonnage jumped from 1,902,606 tonnes in 2015 to 2,329,606 tonnes in 2016. The uptick in cargo traffic began in August 2015, when the O3 Alliance (calling at the South End Container Terminal) and G6 Alliance (calling at Fairview Cove) began new services. “Those two big factors have been contributing to the growth we have been seeing,” says HPA spokesman Lane Farguson.

Richard Moore, president and CEO of the Halifax Employers “Having the big ship infrastructure in place and ready to move when Association, is optimistic. “The fact the Port was able to see an the big ships started to call certainly helped,” Farguson adds. increase in volume at a time when global shipping lines are facing In January 2016, the first of ACL’s new, fourth generation or G4 severe financial pressures is hopefully indicative of the Port’s vessels began calling the port. The ships are bigger with a container competitiveness,” he says. “The increase in the amount of Midwest capacity of 3,800 TEUs compared to 1,850 for G3 ships, plus more cargo going through the port is a very positive sign and we will work room for ro/ro and vehicle cargo. hard to grow this business.” FEATURE Farguson also praises the cooperation between terminal operators, Moore says that although this is a “good news story, we must rise labour, and CN, which has been marketing what it can do through to the challenge and do what is necessary, collectively, to ensure we Halifax. “[They] have all come to the table,” he says. “It has been a have a dependable, trained workforce ready to serve our customers and further grow our business.” Total tonnage at HPA facilities, both containerized and non- containerized, was 4,461,038, tonnes, up 16.2 per cent over 2015. Tonnage of non-containerized cargo at non-HPA facilities was 3,811,307 tonnes. Port-wide tonnage at both HPA and non-HPA facilities was 8,272,345 tonnes in 2016 compared to 7,569,286 tonnes in 2015. Growth seems to be continuing in 2017. Tropical Shipping, which had been in Saint John, New Brunswick is now moving cargo over Halifax. The line moved some 40,000 TEU annually when it called at Saint John. Another potential growth factor for Halifax could be the completion of the raising of the Bayonne Bridge in the Port of New York and New Jersey, allowing all terminals in that port to handle ultra-large container ships (thus attracting large ships to the East Coast). Traffic through the expanded Panama Canal is also likely to increase once the Bayonne work is finished, expected by the end of 2017 or early 2018. “[Halifax is an] ultra-Atlantic port,” Farguson says. “We will continue to look for global opportunities for Canadian importers and exporters across Atlantic and Central Canada.” ✱
