“For major shipping lines, Montreal is a full-capacity round trip. We are committed to that strategic positioning, and our expansion to Contrecœur will reinforce it.”

— Guillaume Brossard, Vice President, Development, Marketing and International Relations 

Room to grow

The expansion of the Port of Montreal in Contrecœur offers great opportunities for operators, freight forwarders or companies who want easy access to markets in Quebec, Ontario and the American Midwest. With its proximity to major highways and served by a Class 1 railroad, the future terminal offers a capacity of 1.15 million TEUs (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units). This represents an increase of nearly 60% of the Port of Montreal’s current containerization capacity.

 

An efficient route that minimizes greenhouse gases and brings you closer to your major markets: this is what the new terminal can offer, and much more.

Contrecœur and the Montreal South Shore—in the heart of the action!

About 40 minutes from the Montreal island, the City of Contrecœur is located in a booming area. Located about 40 km (25 miles) from Montreal, this municipality has seen its population grow by more than 50% in ten years, and now has more than 10,000 residents. Its proximity to the Greater Montreal area, its efficient highway service and its industrial sector located on the outskirts of residential areas make it an ideal area for port expansion. The Port of Montreal is already present in the area with a bulk terminal that has been established for decades.

Contrecœur is part of the Marguerite-D’Youville RCM (Municipalité Régionale de Comté), a grouping of six of the most dynamic municipalities in the province of Quebec with one of the most robust demographic and economic growth. In recent years, several companies in the manufacturing, logistics and distribution sectors have chosen the greater Montreal South Shore to establish themselves or expand. This developing ecosystem is expected to grow even more with new port facilities, which represent interesting business opportunities for entrepreneurs in these sectors. In addition to this ecosystem, First Nations businesses could also benefit from these business opportunities.
