312 kilometres by ship

Do you know what a container ship with a capacity for 6,000 TEU (20-foot equivalent units) could carry?

37 million pairs of shoe

Do you know what the size of a 300-metre container ship really means?

This is the longest ship that the Port can accommodate. Picture this:

The size of the ship is larger than three Canadian football fields end to end

If the ship was stood upright, it would be higher than the tallest building in Montreal.

Placed end to end, they would cover the distance between Montreal and Tokyo.
