Port Of Saint John Handling Alot More Cargo

Traffic through the port is way up as compared to the same time last year. Total tonnage last month increased by 20 per cent over January of 2012. 

Dry bulk rose by a whopping 240 per cent with the number of ships making stops at the port rising by 26 per cent.

 Port President and C-E-O Jim Quinn tells CHSJ News more will be happening and promising new proposals for redevelopment he says will be exciting.

Quinn says the port has made inclusion and getting as much input as possible a key priority. He adds the port will be reaching out to the adjacent neighbourhoods to see what help can be provided to community associations and the schools.
