Port of Montreal

Montreal is an inland seaport on the St Lawrence, bringing ocean shipping into a major urban and industrial market. Container traffic forms an important part of its business alongside dry and liquid bulk cargoes, giving the port a broad role in international trade.

Grain and other agricultural goods move through bulk facilities, while liquid cargoes include refined petroleum products. Container terminals connect marine services with road and rail transport, supporting the movement of manufactured goods and other freight between the waterfront and inland destinations.

Cruise activity adds a passenger function to this commercial port. The combination of river access, cargo terminals and land transport links allows Montreal to serve both the metropolitan economy and businesses farther along its inland distribution network.
