About

Equipped with diversified, modern, and highly efficient port facilities, the Port of Sept-Îles (PSI) is the leading mineral port in North America and the second-largest port in Canada in terms of shipping volume. A strategic driver of economic development in eastern Canada, PSI continues to grow around three key pillars: market diversification, the development of human capital, and a strong commitment to sustainable development and community relations. A pioneer in responsible practices, the Port has notably distinguished itself by establishing the first environmental monitoring observatory on the St. Lawrence River and by creating a research chair with Université Laval dedicated to coastal ecosystems and port activities.
