The small harbour on Lake Ontario between Toronto and Hamilton now has little freight relevance, with a very shallow channel of about 1.8 m and no cargo terminals, serving mainly pleasure craft. Containers, bulk and project cargo move instead through the nearby major ports of Hamilton, the leading bulk-handling port on western Lake Ontario, and Toronto.","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/seaports/oakville-port-ca-oaj","markdownMirror":"https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/seaports/en/oakville-port-ca-oaj","source":null,"provider":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Freight Academy","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com"},"quickSummary":"Oakville · (UN/LOCODE: CA OAJ) · Canada · Very Small · 1.8 m"}
