Heddle Marine has operated the Port Weller yard since 2017, running what counts as the largest Canadian-owned dry dock facility on the Great Lakes. Positioned at the Lake Ontario entrance to the Welland Canal above Lock One, the site combines two Seawaymax graving docks with machine and fabrication shops for building, refitting and repairing lake and ocean vessels. A cargo terminal alongside handles dry bulk, breakbulk and project shipments, backed by more than 300 m of wharfage and generous laydown areas. Road and rail links connect the port to St. Catharines and the wider Niagara region. Navigation follows the St. Lawrence Seaway season, roughly late March to the end of December. Container services do not call here regularly, so containerised freight is better routed via Hamilton or Toronto, while Port Weller (CA PWE) remains a leading choice for ship repair and heavy project cargo.
