DP World eyes Port Saint John as new shipping gateway

The announcement by Port Saint John’s CEO, Craig Bell Estabrooks, regarding DP World and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) exploring opportunities to diversify imports at its waterfront terminal carries both geopolitical and operational significance.

The Canadian port’s strategic location at the mouth of the Saint John River, with its year-round ice-free status and extreme tidal range, makes it a critical node for trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific trade.
