The Port of Belledune is located on the south shore of the Chaleur Bay in northeastern New Brunswick, about thirty-five kilometers northwest of Bathurst and fifty kilometers east of Dalhousie. The port is open to navigation throughout the year. It is an artificial harbour equipped with a breakwater and three wharfs owned by Belledune Ports Authority.
Facilities are within an industrial area and designed primarily for bulk cargo handling.
The first wharf was built in 1968 to meet the shipping requirements of Belledune Fertilizer. It is equipped with a ship loader and a reversible 1.22m x 0.8 km conveyor system. Some shifting may be required and this is normally coordinated by shore officials. Conveyer loading is continuous throughout 24 hours. Product may be chute trimmed, however for vessels with a larger beam width, trimming is accomplished using a small bulldozer craned into the hatch.
