Montreal :: Votre porte d'entrée pour l'Amérique du Nord
Transport Maritime
Le port de Montréal est un leader dans le transport de conteneur sur la côte Est de l'Amérique du Nord.
Fort de liens directs avec plus de 100 pays à travers le monde via de nombreuses lignes maritimes, c'est
également un point préféré de transfert pour le cargo transatlantique. Plus de 26 millions de tonnes de
marchandise on transité par le port en 2007, incluant des grains, des produits pétroliers et de nombreuses
marchandises conteneurisées ou non. Located 1,600 km (1,000
miles) inland, open year round and advantageously linked by train to the
markets of Chicago, Detroit and the American Midwest, the Port of Montréal
is undeniably the shortest and fastest link between the U.S. and Europe.
Air Transport
Approximately 40 airlines serve the greater Montréal area with direct
flights to 120 destinations worldwide. In 2007, more than 300,000 metric
tons of air freight were handled. And at a rate of almost four times lower
than in Toronto and New York, landing charges for cargo flights remain very
competitive in Montréal.
Road Transport
An integrated highway network makes it possible to ship goods quickly to all
the major economic centers in America. Some 20,000 commercial trucks and
road tractors operate in the Montreal area alone. Approximately 64% of the
value of Québec exports to the United States is shipped by road transport.
The majority of these exports either come from or transit through the
greater Montréal area. Deregulation trends in North America continue to
ensure very competitive trucking rates.
Rail Transport
An efficient railroad network is linked to all the railroad networks in the
United States and Mexico. This intermodal transportation system makes it
possible to assemble container trains so they may reach large Canadian and
American markets in the least amount of time possible. Nearly 15% of the
value of Québec exports is shipped by rail from Montréal.
