Strait Superport Superport Corporation Transport Canada began a Marine Policy and Divestiture Program in the mid 1990's. Through this program, authority and responsibility for ports across the nation were being transferred to local interests. In the Strait Area, the divestiture was recognized as an economic opportunity for the community and in 1996 the Strait of Canso Superport Corporation Limited (also known as the Strait Superport ) was formed. A volunteer Board of Directors representing various stakeholders in the Strait of Canso regions governs the Corporation. In 2000, the Strait Superport acquired the Mulgrave Marine Terminal. The Corporation owns, operates and manages the facility. Since the acquisition, the Strait Superport has continually grown. The terminal underwent reconstruction and a warehousing facility was constructed. The Strait Superport continues to look for ways to expand and to enhance the economic value of the port of Mulgrave which is situated on the western shore of the Strait of Canso.

Mulgrave Marine Terminal Supply Base
www.straitsuperport.com/facilities.htm Since its acquisition in 2000, the facility has undergone three upgrades. The first was the reconstruction of the southern berth of the Terminal. For this project, new steel sheet piles were driven, new backfill was brought in and anchor bolts and cables were replaced. Currently, the Terminal is fully functional and, because the Strait of Canso is ice free throughout the winter, it is open for docking year-round. There is 500 metres of docking space available at the Terminal, with 8 - 10 metre depths along the wharf face and over 4 acres of laydown area dockside. The second upgrade at the Mulgrave Marine Terminal was the construction of an office and warehouse facility. Located directly on the Marine Terminal, the 35,000 square foot building houses two 10,000 square foot bays and two 7,500 square foot bays, complete with warehouse and front office space. Individual office space is also available for lease.
