Charlottetown is the sole seaport of Prince Edward Island, handling bulk cargo and cruise traffic. The bulk terminal receives sand, gravel, petroleum products, and fertilisers for the island's economy. In 2026 approximately 80 cruise calls are expected, carrying over 165,000 passengers. A new passenger boarding platform, funded by federal investment, opened in April 2026. The Confederation Bridge has connected PEI to the mainland since 1997; Halifax is the nearest major port. There is no container service or rail link; the harbour serves exclusively regional bulk and cruise traffic.
