Marine Atlantic, a federal Crown corporation, makes North Sydney in Nova Scotia the mainland anchor of Canada's constitutionally mandated ferry link to Newfoundland. Its roll-on/roll-off service to Port aux Basques — seasonally supplemented by Argentia — carries more than 100,000 commercial units a year, meaning trucks, trailers and drop units. That traffic accounts for over half of all goods shipped to and from the island of Newfoundland. A fleet of four ice-class vessels moves freight and passengers together. North Sydney is not a container liner port; freight must be both delivered to and collected from the terminal itself. For containerised cargo to Newfoundland, Halifax and St. John's are the established gateways.
