This is great news. And with HOPA having multiple sites now, there may be more space to devote to this kind of service. I can see them building a new container facility in the east harbour too... a future Pier 27 that's already receiving fill, perhaps even some of the portside land being vacated by Stelco.
CN and CP probably aren't that happy about the new competition, though this is may be quite small relative to their current container shipments. But they'll also have their trains full with oil cars, given the pipeline issues of late, so maybe it's going to be a welcome complement?

Port of Hamilton thread... the two should be merged. Thanks!
