About Port of Saint-John

This Canadian port is situated at the mouth of the Saint John River in New Brunswick. It handles a diverse range of vessels, including bulk carriers, container ships, and tankers. The port's operations are significantly influenced by the region's extreme tidal range.

Background
The Port of Saint John is a port complex that occupies 141 hectares of land along 3,900 m (12,800 ft) of waterfront of the Saint John Harbour at the mouth of the Saint John River in the city of Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. The Port of Saint John, with facilities on both sides of the river, is noted for its extreme tidal range and river currents. Because of the semi-diurnal tides and the river influence, slack water occurs at approximately half tide and not at high or low water as at most other ports.
