About This Seaport
ArcelorMittal runs the deep-water terminal that defines Port-Cartier, shipping more than 26 million tonnes of iron ore, pellets, raw materials, fuel and grain to four continents each year. Concentrate and taconite pellets travel roughly 400 km by rail from the Mont-Wright and Fire Lake mines before being loaded onto Capesize bulkers on the St. Lawrence in Québec. Capacity for iron ore alone was expanded from 16 to 24 million tonnes per annum, underlining the site's bulk-export focus. For freight forwarders the port matters for dry and liquid bulk rather than containers or general cargo, which it does not handle in any meaningful volume. Boxed or project shipments are better routed through nearby Sept-Îles or through Montréal. Exports clear under Canada Border Services Agency procedures.
