SWP currently unloads cement powder. It arrives by barge and is blown into a piping system that brings the powder into a storage shed on site. SWP is planning to build a bulk-loading system to handle mineral concentrates. SWP has a 13.1 million grant from the National Trade Corridor Fund to build this system and will begin construction soon.

No, not yet. See projects for more information. SWP is working with other parties to investigate the viability of rail into Stewart, BC and to determine the most feasible route.

SWP connects to HWY 16, via HWY 37A and HWY 37. The highways are all paved and in good condition. The province recently upgraded the highway and the Nass Bridge to be able to handle any cargo that would typically travel via highway.

Yes, the port operates year-round. Occasionally in winter months, highway 37-A into Stewart, BC will close for up to 12 hours to conduct preventative avalanche control. This process involves temporarily closing the highway and using explosives to trigger controlled avalanches, or using remotely activated devices and automated detection systems to manage risk and reduce closure times.
