Shipping between ontario and Nova scotia

Shipping between Ontario and Nova Scotia

 An important lane in the Canadian shipping industry comes between Ontario and Nova Scotia. This lane experiences a steady flow of traffic, both through LTL and FTL shipments. Nova Scotia’s 13,000km of coastline and efficient manufacturing industry is key to its economy and exports. Nova Scotia exports just over $5 billion worth of goods, making it the 9th largest exporter in Canada. The eastern province is a major manufacturer of rubber products, which accounts for 20% of their total yearly exports at over $1 billion per year. The next major players in their economy are the seafood and aquaculture sectors. Seafood products account for $850 million of exports and fishing/aquaculture sits at nearly $700 million. Combining for over $1 billion, Nova Scotia’s use of the ocean has been critical to both their economy and the continued access to seafood products for all Canadians. The final major industry found in Nova Scotia is mining. Coal was the leading mining product but as industries have changed, Nova Scotia’s product has changed. The focus has now been placed on salt and anhydrite production and the provincial gypsum deposits yield about 75% of Canada’s supply. Along with this, Nova Scotia provides a great deal of sand and gravel to the construction industry. Nova Scotia’s scenic views and continuously evolving industries make them an important member of trade throughout Canada.
