To mark Quebec’s maritime sector conference, the Assises québécoises du secteur maritime, on May 9, 2023, CargoM, the Logistics and Transportation Metropolitan Cluster of Montreal, and Sodes, the St. Lawrence Economic Development Council, have launched Cap Saint-Laurent – the online catalogue of actors and partners in Quebec’s maritime and port sector.

Funded by the ministère des Relations internationales et de la Francophonie (MRIF) and the ministère de l’Économie, de l’Innovation et de l’Énergie (MEIE), Cap Saint-Laurent makes it possible to position Quebec’s strategic advantages internationally and expedite the internationalization of its companies, organizations and research centres by providing a wide range of services and business resources, all in one place, for North American and foreign partners who use the major navigable waterway that is the St. Lawrence River.

In addition to being a directory, Cap Saint-Laurent is a showcase for maritime sector achievements. Projects in cargo mobility, cybersecurity, process improvement, agility and decarbonization can address issues and serve as inspiration to implement new solutions. Cap Saint-Laurent is also part of Advantage St. Lawrence, the Quebec government’s maritime vision focussed on three priorities: to provide modern, competitive port facilities along the St. Lawrence; to ensure efficient navigation that respects ecosystems; and to provide promising and sustainable development opportunities for communities along the St. Lawrence.
