UN/LOCODE CA PHA marks Port Hastings, a small natural harbour at the eastern end of the Canso Causeway linking Cape Breton Island to mainland Nova Scotia, Canada. Once called Plaster Cove for its gypsum deposits before the 1869 renaming, the site lost its own commercial cargo role after the nearby Sugar Camp gypsum quarry closed in 2011, leaving it with limited freight relevance today. Regional bulk cargo — gypsum, petroleum products, pulp and seafood — now moves through the Point Tupper/Mulgrave superport on the Strait of Canso, while Halifax remains Atlantic Canada's principal container hub.
