Port of Montreal Work Stoppage
Dear Valued Customer,
As reported by the Maritime Employers Association (MEA), due to a negative outcome of the vote by the Montreal Longshoremen’s Union and as settlement was not able to be reached between parties, a labor lockout began on November 10 at 21:00 hrs and remains in effect until further notice.
Please refer to the respective terminals websites for any updates involving their location:
• Montreal Gateway Terminal (MGT): https://www.mtrtml.com/
• Termont Terminals: https://www.termont.com/
As intermodal rail service is currently impacted, please check with the local rail provider on revised receiving schedules prior to dispatching your trucker:
• Canadian National Railway (CN): https://www.cn.ca/en/
