Port of Montreal resumes activities on its docks

The Port of Montreal has resumed activities on its docks a week after the truce agreement between the longshore workers’ union CUPE Local 375 and the Maritime Employers Association (MEA).

Within the week, seven container ships called at the port’s terminals and thousands of trucks and about 10 trains picked up the slack to move goods to importers in Quebec, Ontario and the US Midwest.

It is estimated that the backlog from the work stoppage will be cleared within three to four weeks.
