The Atlantic Gateway and Trade Corridor is a modern, competitive, and integrated air, rail, marine, and road freight transportation network. Canada's Atlantic Gateway and Trade Corridor provides a quick, reliable, and secure transportation network between North American markets and markets in Europe, the Caribbean, Latin America, and Asia via the Suez Canal.

The Atlantic Gateway and Trade Corridor is made up of Canada's east coast provinces of Nova Scotia (NS), New Brunswick (NB), Prince Edward Island (PEI) and Newfoundland and Labrador (NL).

The Atlantic Gateway and Trade Corridor has:

  • Ice‑free deep water ports that can accommodate the world's largest ships;
  • Airports with air cargo facilities;
  • Intermodal transportation facilities;
  • Secure and efficient border crossings;
  • Class 1 rail infrastructure;
  • 64,000 kilometres of highways; and
  • Three main truck corridors, one linking to key markets in Ontario and Quebec, and two to the Northeast United States.

The Atlantic Gateway and Trade Corridor connects to and seamlessly integrates with Canada's other gateways and with transportation systems that reach across North America.
