Overview

The Port of Corner Brook is located on the West coast of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The port is 35km (22 miles) inland from the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Sheltered by the surrounding Blomidon Mountains, the port experiences very few wind or wave issues. Accessible year round, the waters of the Bay of Islands are extremely deep with a 90 metre (300 ft) channel to gulf depth and a minimum dockside water depth of 10 metres (30 ft). The port is operated by the Corner Brook Port Corporation, a community based not-for-profit organization located in the service hub of Western Newfoundland, Corner Brook. The corporation aims to facilitate port growth and development through its mandate which is to facilitate a high quality ocean transportation and distribution link to meet the needs of Western Newfoundland and to stimulate economic activity for the region. The CBPC operates along three lines of business: 1. industrial port operations, 2. real estate, and 3. cruise tourism.
