Barges once hauled mill equipment up the Ottawa River to Thurso, Québec, but the town is an industrial site rather than a working seaport. Its name was tied to the Fortress Specialty Cellulose pulp mill, which closed in 2019 and is being lined up for new use. With a navigable depth of only about 1.8 metres, the location has no role in ocean or container freight. Goods in the region move by road and rail, while ocean shipments route through Montréal on the St. Lawrence.
