The success of Prince Rupert is not easily transferable to Nova Scotia. When it comes to shipping, manufacturers are less concerned about the actual distance traveled, rather getting the goods to their destination on time. West Coast ports (especially LA, Long Beach) are plagued with bottle necks and Prince Rupert are capitalizing on that. It’s all about getting the goods to the shelves faster. Halifax and Saint John are under capacity so the business conditions are different. Point taken though on Prince Rupert, because most people were skeptical and look how amazing it’s doing.
