About This Seaport
Rio Tinto Fer et Titane anchors freight activity at Havre-Saint-Pierre, on Quebec's Côte-Nord, where ilmenite from the Lac Tio mine 43 km to the north-east is loaded for sea. Mined since 1950 from the world's largest solid ilmenite deposit, the ore is railed to the terminal and carried by bulk ore vessels some 880 km to the metallurgical complex at Sorel-Tracy. The year-round deepwater berth on the Gulf of Saint Lawrence (pier depth around 7.9 m, anchorage to 12.5 m) is built for dry bulk, not containers or general breakbulk. The operation supplies roughly 19% of global demand for titanium-dioxide feedstock, underscoring its industrial weight. Shippers needing containers or liner services should look to Sept-Îles and Port-Cartier further west, or Montreal. Treat Havre-Saint-Pierre as a specialised mineral export terminal rather than a multipurpose port.
