About This Seaport
No UN/LOCODE has yet been assigned to Yarmouth Harbor, but the port still carries an official designation as one of only four ports of entry for international vessels into Nova Scotia. Tucked on the southwest tip of the province at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy, it is the first secure Canadian harbour reached from the US Eastern Seaboard. The waterfront is built around the fishing fleet rather than container traffic: the Lobster Rock Marine Terminal offers roughly 150 metres of outer berth, and the older Public Wharf adds an ice plant used by the region's lobster boats, which work some of the richest lobster grounds in the world. There is no container terminal here; shippers needing box or bulk capacity typically route through Halifax, roughly 300 km away. Bay Ferries' high-speed catamaran "The CAT" links Yarmouth with Bar Harbor, Maine, in about 3.5 hours and clears passengers and vehicles through a Canada Border Services Agency post at the terminal. For freight purposes, Yarmouth functions mainly as a fishing and cross-border ferry hub rather than a general cargo port.
