Westshore’s two deep-sea docks have the advantage of being ice-free, operate year-round, and offer all-tide sailings.

• Berth One: The newer of the two berths was added in 1984. It is 350 metres long and has a draft of 22.9 metres (75 feet) enabling it to handle the largest dry bulk vessels afloat up to 260,000 deadweight tonnes. A single, rail-mounted shiploader is capable of 7,000 tonnes per hour
• Berth Two: Westshore’s original dolphin-style dock was opened in 1970 and extends over 263 metres with a draft of 20.8m (68 feet). Storm damage in 2003 saw the replacement of both of its quadrant shiploaders which now have a combined loading rate of 7,000 tph. The berth can handle vessels up to 170,000 dwt.
