Learn all about the past, present and future of North America’s largest mineral port, the Port of Sept-Îles.

Port of Sept-Îles

The Port of Sept-Îles extends along a deep 45 km2 bay cutting into the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. An archipelago of 7 islands form a scenic natural barrier at the mouth of this large body of water, which affords safe anchorage for ships 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The Port of Sept-Îles’s state-of-the-art facilities can accommodate the world’s largest bulk carriers and it has an annual cargo handling capacity of 100 MT, making it the largest mineral port in North America.

FOR THE NATURAL RESOURCES INDUSTRY

Because we enjoy a strategic location on the St. Lawrence River and some of the most enviable maritime conditions in North America; because our state-of-the-art facility has an annual capacity of 100 MT and can accommodate bulk carriers up to 400,000 tonnes; because our economic development initiatives draw on a local network of recognized experts in areas such as the environment, smart energy, and rail transportation; we can say without a doubt that we are a key partner for the global natural resources industry.
