Canaport, Deep-water maritime terminal in Saint John, Canada
Canaport is a deep-water port facility in Saint John that receives crude oil from large tanker vessels. The terminal uses a floating buoy system and subsea pipelines to move oil directly to onshore storage tanks.
The facility opened in 1970 as the first deep-water crude oil terminal in the Western Hemisphere able to accommodate supertanker vessels. This established the area as a major hub for international petroleum transport.
The terminal represents the industrial development of New Brunswick, connecting the region to international maritime commerce through its advanced petroleum handling facilities.
Visitors can view the terminal and port facility from designated vantage points accessible from Saint John harbor. The best viewing opportunities occur during clear weather and standard harbor hours.
The storage tanks at Canaport were strategically arranged to spell out IRVING when observed from vessels approaching from the Bay of Fundy.
