Baie Comeau enlists Rotterdam support
The Port of Baie Comeau, Canada has joined forces with the Port of Rotterdam, The Netherlands to explore the potential for its development and future cargo growth opportunities.
The two ports have announced a plan to undertake a Master Plan Study, which will assess cargo flow activities and technical port infrastructure at the Quebec located port.
There will be a specific focus on the production of, and potential use of, green energy, which includes wind and solar power, bioenergy and green hydrogen.
The Société du Plan Nord is supporting the development plan through the investment of CAD$250,000, which has been provided under the Government of Quebec’s 2020-2023 Northern Action Plan.
Located on the East Coast of Canada, the port of Baie-Comeau recently changed ownership from Transport Canada to the Baie-Comeau Port Management Corporation. It is located on the North Shore of the Saint Lawrence River, near the mouth of the Manicouagan River in the Baie des Anglais. Current key cargo activities include a Cargill cereals terminal (the largest storage capacity for cereals in Canada) and an Alcoa aluminium smelter.
