![]() The government of Canada, Transport Canada says, is investing in efficient trade corridors to help Canada compete in key global markets, trade more efficiently with international partners, and keep supply chains competitive. The Port of Hamilton is the largest port in Ontario and the western marine gateway to the Greater Toronto-Hamilton Area (GTHA). By creating new interconnections between marine, rail and road, this project, HOPA says, will “increase the efficiency and the resiliency of the supply chain in the region for the construction and manufacturing sectors.” When completed, the facility will add more than 100,000MT of new steel handling capacity at the Port of Hamilton and enable a shift in trade flows from truck to rail, reducing carbon emissions associated with long-distance truck transportation of steel products. The project includes the construction of a new, 20,000 m 2 rail transload facility at Pier 15, designed specifically for the handling of steel products. The contribution is part of a $9.8 million HOPA-led project to enhance the transfer of steel products between various transportation modes at the port. By creating new interconnections between marine, rail and road, this project will “increase the efficiency and the resiliency of the supply chain in the region,” Transport Canada added. The approximately $10 million project, which will be undertaken by the Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority (HOPA), will “relieve supply chain congestion at the Port of Hamilton.”Īccording to Transport Canada, with this investment, HOPA will be able to enhance the transfer of steel products between various vehicles at the Port.
