Port of Liverpool / Port Mersey Commercial Park

Brooklyn (Liverpool), NS · Provincial · Province of Nova Scotia / Build Nova Scotia · Liverpool Bay / Mersey River (Atlantic Ocean)

Port Mersey Commercial Park is an 88-acre industrial waterfront site at Brooklyn (near Liverpool), Nova Scotia, on Liverpool Bay at the mouth of the Mersey River. It occupies the former Bowater Mersey Paper Company pulp/newsprint mill site, which operated from 1929 until 2012; the Province of Nova Scotia acquired the lands in December 2012, and the original federal wharf was transferred from Transport Canada to the province in 2016. The marine facility centres on a deep-water wharf (main face ~140 m, ~190 m with approach, roughly 47-60 m wide, ~7 m water depth, with warping dolphins added in 1992) supported by a 51,012 sq ft warehouse, mechanical shops with overhead cranes (up to 36 tons), diesel/gas fueling, high-capacity power and industrial water. It is now a multi-tenant commercial/industrial park used for general marine and commercial activity (including fishing vessels such as herring boats berthing at the wharf), owned by the Province and managed by Build Nova Scotia (formerly via Nova Scotia Lands Inc.).
