Built around a 675-metre quay with two deep-water berths, the new Contrecœur terminal on the St. Lawrence River is designed to add roughly 1.15 million TEU per year and lift the Port of Montreal's total container capacity by about 60%. Construction began in April 2026 and includes a seven-track classification yard, an on-dock intermodal rail connection and handling areas for vessels of 39,000 to 75,400 DWT. The site already supports commercial cargo, notably steel long products and dry bulk handled by ArcelorMittal. Backed by the Canada Infrastructure Bank and Transport Canada, with DP World reported as the prospective operator, the project ranks among the country's most strategic port developments. Hinterland access combines highway links, CN rail and the St. Lawrence Seaway, positioning Contrecœur as relief for Montreal's congested island terminals. Until the box terminal opens, shippers needing immediate container services still rely on the existing Port of Montreal.
