About This Seaport
Inaugurated in 1970 to serve the now-defunct Gaspésia pulp and paper mill, the wharf at Chandler on Québec's Chaleur Bay lost its original purpose when the mill closed in 1999. The federal government abandoned the wharf infrastructure in 2016, and the structure remains in poor condition, with restoration cost estimates ranging from roughly CAD 16 to 60 million depending on scope. Since 2004 the cruise ship CTMA Vacancier has called here about 30 times a year, giving the site a modest tourism role, and the cement producer Ciment McInnis, based in nearby Port-Daniel-Gascons, appears to use the wharf to store raw materials. No regular container or breakbulk cargo handling is documented at Chandler today. The site connects inland via Route 132 along the Gaspé coast, with no consistent rail service, and customs matters are handled through Canadian federal authorities as at any Québec port. Recreational fishing for smelt and mackerel from the wharf underlines its largely local, non-commercial present-day use; shippers seeking reliable cargo capacity on this coast should look to the ports of Gaspé or Matane instead.
