The Port of Montreal (French: Port de Montréal, pronounced [pɔʁ də mɔ̃ʁeal]) (ACI Canadian Port Code: 0395,[7][8] UN/LOCODE: CA MTR)[9][10] is a cruise and transshipment point. It is located on the St. Lawrence River in Montreal, Québec, Canada. The port operates as an international container port. It services Toronto, the rest of Central Canada, the Midwestern United States, and the Northeastern United States.[11] Though found on the Saint Lawrence Seaway, it is some 260 miles (420 km) inland from the Atlantic Ocean and it is on the shortest direct route between the North American Midwest and Europe or the Mediterranean.
In 2019, more than 2,000 cargo ships visited with the port, while handling 40,500,000[4] metric tonnes of consumer goods, machinery, cereal, sugar, petroleum products, and other types of cargo. Montreal is also a port for cruise ships. The port is operated by the Montreal Port Authority. As of 2024 it is estimated the port's activities support an estimated 600,000 jobs directly and indirectly across Montreal and Quebec.[12]
