SYDNEY, N.S. - A proposed container terminal in Cape Breton now has a name.

The facility in Sydney will be known as Novaporte, while the adjacent logistics park will be called Novazone.

More than 800 hectares have been set aside for the development.

The harbour has been dredged down 16.5 metres to accommodate large container vessels.

Marlene Usher, chief executive officer for the Port of Sydney, said in a news release the terminal would be the greenest port in North America once completed.
