In 2025, the Port of Trois-Rivières handled 2.6 million metric tonnes (MMT) of cargo, supporting both regional and international trade flows. Traffic consisted of 1.9 MMT of dry bulk, 198,200 tonnes of liquid bulk, and 485,000 tonnes of general cargo. The decrease observed this year was anticipated and is directly related to major infrastructure projects currently underway, which are designed to sustainably increase the Port’s long-term productivity and competitiveness.
The past year marked a significant period of transformation for the Port, driven by the most ambitious and substantial project in its history. The reconstruction of dock 17 and the construction of the new dock 16, including the infilling of the basin, are progressing according to schedule and within approved budgets.
Thanks to a strong collaboration with Alcoa and G3 Canada, these large–scale projects are advancing smoothly. The commitment of these partners, their operational flexibility, and their active involvement at every stage of the project are directly contributing to the successful progress of the work and the continued operation of the Port. This collaboration highlights the importance of joint efforts between the Port and its partners to ensure the success of this transformative project and the development of modern, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure.
As part of this project, significant investments have been announced by governments. Transport Canada and the Government of Quebec have contributed $87.1 million and $41 million respectively, toward a total project investment of $312 million.
On Course to 2030
Alongside its major construction initiatives, the Port of Trois-Rivières continued its active involvement in the community. Through donations and sponsorships, it supported numerous organizations, events, and local initiatives, contributing to the social, cultural, and economic vitality of the region. This continued engagement reflects the Port’s commitment to acting as a responsible, engaged, and sustainable corporate citizen.
The Port of Trois-Rivières also welcomed 14 cruise ships in 2025, with a total of 4,799 passengers. In October, an inaugural ceremony was held on board the Azamara Quest during its very first stopover in Trois-Rivières, in collaboration with Innovation et Développement économique Trois-Rivières.
