Cape Breton container port proponent shifts focus to offshore wind development
The project would anchor manufacturers and suppliers as Novaporte shifts away from its long-planned container port.
- Novaporte and its investment partner, Fengate Asset Management, have shifted their 13-year shipping container project to developing an offshore wind manufacturing port in Sydney Harbour, Nova Scotia.
- The proponents pivoted after struggling for 13 years to build a container terminal, identifying a stronger opportunity to support Premier Tim Houston's proposed $60-billion Wind West offshore energy project.

- Designed to connect Canadian manufacturing to North Atlantic and European markets, the initial Phase One infrastructure program for the hub is valued at US$1 billion.
