About This Seaport
A deep-water dock with two shiploaders and conveyor lines defines the Pointe-Noire sector of the Port of Sept-Îles in Quebec. Sept-Îles bay, more than 80 metres deep at its entrance, lets the largest Capesize bulk carriers call year-round. Iron ore from the Labrador Trough is the main cargo, shipped by operators including the Iron Ore Company of Canada and Wabush Mines. Aluminium adds a second pillar: Aluminerie Alouette imports alumina and petroleum coke and exports aluminium through the area. In 2026 the terminal celebrated the milestone of the 100-millionth tonne of iron ore shipped, a landmark for the Labrador corridor. A capacity expansion from 21 to 38 million tonnes a year is under engineering review, which would position Pointe-Noire as the largest iron-ore hub in North America. Container and general-cargo line traffic plays virtually no role here; for container cargo, Montreal is Quebec's reference port.
