Sydney, NS, has 79 visits scheduled for this year. The port has been having trouble attracting additional visits due to a lack of berthage and I suspect St. John's would have similar problems if the number of visits increased. Unlike Sydney, which is planning to build a second berth alongside the existing Sydney Marine Terminal, St. John's doesn't have space for new, dedicated passenger facilities. The entire perimeter of the harbour inside the narrows is already taken up for berthage or industrial uses. Unfortunately, telling passengers they're going to stop in Bay Bulls doesn't have the same ring to it.
