Montreal Port Authority launches public procurement process for new terminal

Despite being hit by strikes in the last few days, the Montreal Port Authority (MPA) has launched a public procurement process in preparation for the design and construction of the Contrecœur container terminal project.

The Contrecœur land reserve was acquired over 30 years ago by the port authority and has been the focus of careful collaborative planning to support the development of the supply chain in Quebec and Eastern Canada.

By 2024, with the support of Canada Infrastructure Bank and private partners, the Port of Montreal intends to develop a new state-of-the-art container terminal to handle 1.15m teu.
