Port of Halifax: Planning for the Future

The shipping industry has helped to shape the history of our city and plays a big role in our daily lives. But what role will it play in our future? We had the pleasure of working with the Port of Halifax to look at how our cruise and shipping industries will be changing in the future.

PLANifax, this part 2 of your first feature on Halifax Harbour. Not bad!
Maybe just a bit behind the time - hasn't the downtown truck traffic problem been solved, with the future project to transfer containers from the south end container terminal to the Fairview terminal in the inner harbour on the Fairview Basin?
And that inner container terminal is not going to be able to handle U.C.C.V.s as you state by 'lifting' the two harbour bridges. The older Macdonald Bridge has just gone through a 4-year revitalization that raised the clearance by 2.1-metres. Do you really invision the bridges being rebuild to handle much large ships? Isn't that where placing another container terminal on the outer harbour in Darrtmouth comes from?
Yeah, those U.C.C.V.s could make an substantial difference to marine shipping. What other ports on the east coast of North America can handle them? And aren't the other two that could be developed here in Nova Scotia?

10,000 TEU sized ships are considered small these days. Ultra class ship is a very vague generic description that actually can be broken down into three major classes, Panamax, Post Panamax and Suez.

Not sure about having a cruise ship dock in Dartmouth but I guess if there's no room elsewhere...
