Outlook

There is plenty of activity taking place in Greater Halifax's transload sector, and numerous plans to improve on current capabilities. One company making expansion plans in the Atlantic Gateway Logistics Park is Consolidated Fastfrate. Their cargo movement operation could see a 45% growth this year compared with 2006. In addition, the company plans to triple its warehouse space, which is close to the Logistics Park.
