# Quebec (CA QUE)

**UN/LOCODE:** CA QUE  
**Country:** Canada  
**Water Body:** Gulf of Saint Lawrence; North Atlantic Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Medium  
**Harbor Type:** River (Natural)  
**GPS:** 46.8167, -71.2167

Listed under UN/LOCODE CA QUE, the Port of Québec sits where the Saint Lawrence still runs deep enough for ocean-going ships before the river narrows upstream toward Montréal. Its Beauport deep-water terminal offers 15 m alongside and accepts vessels up to 175,000 dwt, moving as much as 150,000 tonnes of cargo a day, with overall throughput around 27.8 million tonnes in 2023. The mix is overwhelmingly bulk: grain, ores and concentrates, fertilizers, petroleum products and newsprint. In a notable 2025 change, Parrish & Heimbecker acquired the former Sollio deep-water grain export terminal, partnering with operator QSL and adding two new silos with some 28,600 tonnes of storage. Large-scale container traffic is absent, as the proposed Laurentia container terminal did not go ahead, so boxes continue to route through Montréal. Rail (CN) and road links carry cargo inland across Québec, Ontario and the US Midwest, making Québec the natural choice for deep-draught bulk and project cargo, with Sept-Îles handling iron ore and Montréal the realistic container alternative.
