Montreal, Canada
Quebec's refining and terminal hub. We arrange product freight, storage and inspection in Montreal at the head of the St. Lawrence deep-draft route.
Montreal sits at the inland end of the St. Lawrence deep-draft route. Unusually for an Atlantic-facing market, much of its crude arrives by pipeline from the west through Enbridge Line 9, which runs 832 kilometres from Sarnia.
The port hosts product terminals run by companies including Suncor, Valero (Ultramar), Shell, Canterm and Vopak. We arrange product freight, storage and inspection.
Crude by pipeline, products by water
Line 9 is regulated by the Canada Energy Regulator. Product moves through Montreal terminals by tanker, rail and truck. The Montreal Port Authority is a federal agency under the Canada Marine Act.
