Terminal Visits at Logistec

Our technical programme includes exclusive access to Logistec’s dry bulk operations in both Montréal and Contrecoeur—an opportunity to see vital bulk-handling infrastructure in action.

Logistec Montréal Terminals

At the Port of Montréal, Sections 43, 44, and 46 are dedicated to a wide variety of bulk materials. Delegates will observe:

  • Bulk raw sugar operations, including unloading, storage in large sheds, and onward distribution to refineries and food manufacturers.
  • Scrap metal handling, featuring sorting and processing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals for export.
  • Additional bulk commodities such as salt, gypsum, grain, and others, moved through specialized berths and conveyor systems.

These facilities highlight how essential raw materials are received, temporarily stored, and efficiently transferred through one of North America’s key logistics hubs.

Logistec Contrecoeur Dry Bulk Terminals

In Contrecoeur, operations focus on bulk materials connected to regional heavy industry. Delegates will see:

  • Arrival and offloading of iron ore pellets, destined for processing at a nearby steel mill.
  • Occasional reloads of direct reduced iron (DRI) for further distribution by vessel or rail.
  • Fertilizer imports, stored in a specialized cluster of climate-controlled domes to ensure quality and safety.

Advanced dust-control and environmental protection measures will also be highlighted, demonstrating Logistec’s commitment to high industry and environmental standards.
