With an 800-metre-wide entrance channel and a minimum depth of 9 metres, Shelburne Harbour on Nova Scotia's South Shore is considered one of the best natural harbours in the world, is ice-free year-round and requires no pilot to enter. The Shelburne Marine Terminal, operated by the Town of Shelburne, comprises a roughly 130-metre stem wharf and a T-shaped pier about 163 metres long with 9.5 to 10.5 metres of water depth, built to handle containers, bulk commodities and fish products. The western basin is leased long-term to Clearwater Seafoods, while the eastern basin serves independent fishers and pleasure craft. Located some 200 km southwest of Halifax via Highway 103, the port functions mainly as a regional fisheries and bulk logistics facility rather than a scheduled international container gateway. Halifax remains the relevant alternative for deep-sea container traffic in the province. No verified current data on liner services or TEU throughput at Shelburne could be confirmed.
