Port of Saguenay – Multi-user Transport Conveyor Project

The Saguenay Port Authority (SPA), also known as the “Port of Saguenay”, is an autonomous federal public corporation incorporated under the Canada Marine Act in 1999.  It is one of 17 Canada Port Authorities (CPAs) in the country, recognized for its strategic importance and its contribution to the country’s economy.

Located in the heart of the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean industrial region, the Port of Saguenay is a natural gateway to Northern Quebec and its vast natural resources.  Accessible year-round, its deep-water marine facilities have the potential to accommodate some of the world’s largest ships.  Directly accessible from the major North American rail and highway networks, the port is also renowned for the quality and availability of its infrastructures.
