The Port of Stewart is the most northerly ice-free port located in one of the most mineral rich regions in North America.
As Canada’s most northerly ice free port, Stewart is ideally located at the end of the Portland Canal and has paved access to British Columbia and Alberta. The location provides up to a full day advantage to Asian markets over southern ports and has favourable climate, low winds, and good anchorage.
The economy of Stewart is supported by a varied range of industries including logging, mining and mining exploration and is destined to become a major port for distribution of ore and logs. Stewart offers a paved highway to major transportation routes, a salt water port which supports a barge terminal and bulk commodity loader. The Portland Canal is a mere 80-90 miles from the Pacific Ocean allowing ore and log ships to come from all over the world. Stewart also possesses an excessive amount of hydro power available for industrial use.
Minerals - Stewart is Northwest BC’s gateway to the mineral rich North West region of BC and eastern Yukon. No other BC port combines Stewart’s logistical advantages and mineral shipping facilities.
Logs - For log shipping, no other BC port combines Stewart’s nearly fresh harbour waters with deep sea shipping capabilities.
Stewart Bulk Terminals is capable of handling 50,000 dwt ships and offers RO/RO services to barges.
A Canadian Environmental Assessment permit has been obtained and opportunities exist to expand the terminal by construction of a 1.84 hectare sheet pile wharf expansion, to increase storage space and offer ship side loading and unloading.
