In Eastern Canada, Halterm is the lone container terminal that can handle mega container vessels.

Three container berths encompassing over a kilometre of quay length with a depth of up to 16m are operated by the terminal.

Currently, it is undergoing further berth expansion, including the delivery of a fifth Super Post-Panamax Quay Crane. The expansion will allow the port to serve two mega container vessels simultaneously by next year.
