Point Rousse Port Expansion Project

Point Rousse Marine Terminal Ltd. is proposing to expand the existing port infrastructure at Point Rousse, located on the Baie Verte Peninsula, in Newfoundland and Labrador. As proposed, the Point Rousse Port Expansion Project would involve extending and upgrading the terminal facilities by adding a second berth facility, constructing an access road, upgrading quayside infrastructure, adding laydown and staging areas, and shoreline infilling. The new berth would be capable of supporting vessels up to 80,000 deadweight tonnage. The project would support an increase in aggregate exports and future multi-user capacity, including bulk mineral shipments.
