Souris Harbour Authority, a community-run non-profit, has operated Prince Edward Island's largest port since Canada transferred ownership in 2006. Located on the island's east coast, the port hosts five wharves, a marina, and Eastern Cold Storage, a public refrigeration facility built for the local lobster and seafood industry. CTMA runs a year-round ferry service from Souris to Îles-de-la-Madeleine in Québec, while roughly 31 resident fishers plus transient vessels rely on the harbour, home to PEI's only offshore fishing fleet. Beyond fisheries, the port handles aggregate for provincial road construction and potatoes tied to the island's agricultural exports, rather than containerized cargo. Road access runs via Route 2 to Charlottetown, about 80 kilometres away, with Charlottetown and Georgetown serving as the nearest alternative ports for larger shipments. In 2026, federal and provincial governments committed CAD 9.1 million toward water and infrastructure upgrades in the town of Souris to support continued growth around the harbour.
