BUSINESS SUCCESS STORIES

Fundy Gypsum Company

"With a loading time of less than three hours for 40,000 tons of cargo, this Hantsport facility is one of the fastest shiploading operations in the world."

Fundy Gypsum Company started in Windsor, Nova Scotia in 1924. The business is a year-round operation, with approximately 150 employees in three locations: Miller's Creek, Wentworth and Hantsport. The quarries in Wentworth and Miller's Creek are located within 15 kilometers of the Hantsport shiploading facilities.

All rock produced at Wentworth and Miller's Creek is transported by rail to Hantsport where it is stockpiled in a massive storage shed. The unique aspect of the Hantsport operation is that cargo ships dock on the rising tide and sail at high tide. With an average loading time of less than three hours for 40,000 tons of cargo, the Hantsport facility is one of the fastest shiploading operations in the world.
