Port of Hamilton to Get New Terminal

G3 Canada Limited has announced that it will construct a new lake terminal at the Port of Hamilton to originate grains and oilseeds out of Southern Ontario for export to global markets.

The 50,000 metric tonne facility will be located at Pier 26 in the Port of Hamilton, just off Queen Elizabeth Way. Grains and oilseeds will be loaded on to vessels for transport to G3’s facilities on the St. Lawrence River. From there, they will be shipped onwards to export markets around the world.

“The Port of Hamilton is one of Ontario’s primary agricultural gateways, with agri-food tonnage exceeding 2 million tonnes in 2014. Direct access to the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway system means the port is ideally located for agri-food exporters,” said Hamilton Port Authority President & CEO Bruce Wood.

“The Port of Hamilton welcomes major investments such as this one and looks forward to continue our close working relationship with our partners at G3.”

Construction on the facility is already underway and is slated for completion prior to the 2017 harvest.
