The Port upholds rigorous health and safety standards across all port operations. We comply fully with applicable occupational health and safety legislation and align our practices with recognized industry standards. Every member of our team is properly equipped and thoroughly trained to perform their duties safely and confidently. 

Port Security 
We operate in full compliance with the International Ship and Port Security (ISPS) Code, ensuring our facility meets international standards for maritime security. Our port-wide security infrastructure includes a secured perimeter fence and automated monitoring systems to safeguard personnel, vessels, and cargo at all times.

We maintain a comprehensive Marine Facility Security Plan, which is reviewed annually to reflect evolving regulations and best practices. All amendments are submitted to and approved by Transport Canada Marine Safety and Security, ensuring ongoing compliance with the Marine Transportation Security Regulations. 

On-Site Security Services 
Security services are provided by a qualified local contractor. Security personnel are deployed whenever vessels are alongside or when terminal yard activities require their presence. All security staff receive continuous training to uphold the highest standards of readiness and professionalism.
