Financial Info

The Halifax Port Authority (HPA) was established on March 1, 1999 under the Canada Marine Act. We are a continuation of the former Halifax Port Corporation.

HPA is managed by a Board of Directors. We operate on a commercial basis and are mandated to be financially self-sufficient. We exercise management authority over Halifax Harbour and federal real property under our control. In addition, we have ownership of other property and equipment related to the operation of our business.

The principal source of HPA revenues are fees on vessels, cargo and passengers using the Port of Halifax as well as lease payments for facilities under our management and ownership.
