Despite carrying a UN/LOCODE, Ottawa is not a commercial seaport but Canada's inland capital on the Ottawa River. A channel depth of about 1.8 m rules out ocean-going container or bulk traffic, and freight bound for the Ottawa region is trucked or railed to the deep-water Port of Montreal some 200 km away, or to Halifax. For freight forwarders the practical takeaway is limited cargo relevance here. The nearest genuine ocean gateway is Montreal, with Halifax serving European-origin shipments.
