Two locks and roughly 25 metres of lift define Beauharnois (CA BHA) far better than any cargo statistic, because this point on the St. Lawrence Seaway in Québec is a transit corridor rather than a loading port. The 25 km Beauharnois Canal carries ocean and lake vessels around the Beauharnois hydroelectric dam, linking the lower St. Lawrence with the Great Lakes system. Bulk cargoes typical of the Seaway, iron ore, grain, road salt, cement and steel, pass through the locks but are not handled at quayside here. Forwarders needing actual berths use nearby Salaberry-de-Valleyfield and, downstream, the Port of Montréal.
