About This Seaport

Once a busy 19th-century shipbuilding and transit port where up to a hundred sailing ships anchored, Arichat Harbour on Isle Madame (Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada) today has limited commercial cargo relevance. The deep, sheltered natural harbour now serves mainly the fishing sector, supported by lobster and fish-processing plants on Isle Madame. No active UN/LOCODE is assigned for container handling, and there is effectively no container, bulk or breakbulk traffic. For commercial ocean freight, the nearest options are the deep-water port of Point Tupper/Port Hawkesbury on the Strait of Canso (bulk, energy) and the container gateway of Halifax.
