| • | Hantsport is a rural Canadian town and sea port located in the western part of Hants County, Nova Scotia.
The town is located on the county boundary with Kings County, and sits on the west bank of the Avon River in a tidal estuary.
The sea port is used exclusively for shipping gypsum which is quarried at two locations east of Windsor and shipped to Hantsport by the Windsor and Hantsport Railway. The loader used move gypsum from the storage building to waiting ships is one of the fastest ship-loaders in the world, given the fact that the tides in the Minas Basin require ships to enter and leave Hantsport within a 4-5 hour period.
The largest employer in Hantsport is Minas Basin Pulp and Power Co., a pulp mill which uses recycled paper and cardboard. CKF is a related company which produces disposable paper plates.
