Port Saint John released its 2025 Annual Report, Foundation Forged: From Investment to Impact, at its Annual General Meeting today, highlighting the completion of major infrastructure investments, a record year for containers and cruise, and the continued strength of its diversified cargo base.
In 2025, the Port handled 239,364 TEUs of container cargo, a 29.4% increase over 2024, alongside 24.5 million metric tonnes of liquid bulk, 1.3 million metric tonnes of dry bulk, and a record cruise season with 196,000 passengers across 83 vessel calls.
“2025 was a defining year for Port Saint John,” said Craig Bell Estabrooks, President and CEO. “With our West Side Modernization Project complete, we have the capacity, partnerships, and diversified cargo base needed to support long-term growth and help move Canadian trade to global markets.”
The completion of the $247 million West Side Modernization Project delivered expanded terminal capacity, a new berth, strengthened intermodal connections, and the ability to handle more than four times the previous container volumes. The year also saw Port Saint John join the Gemini Cooperation network and break ground on Americold’s $100 million import-export hub, further strengthening the Port’s role in temperature-controlled, agri-food, breakbulk, and containerized trade.
The full annual report and audited financial statements are available for readers seeking additional detail on Port Saint John’s 2025 results, operations, infrastructure investments, safety performance, community impact, and strategic priorities.
