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.
