Grain shipments through the Port of Thunder Bay remained strong in September, with year-to-date volumes tracking approximately 11% higher than the same period in 2024 — an increase of roughly 500,000 metric tonnes.
Grain continues to lead Port activity, supported by global demand and carryover from the 2024 Prairie harvest. Overall cargo volumes are also trending ahead of last year, reflecting consistent movement across key sectors.
Port of Thunder Bay handled two breakbulk shipments during the month, receiving inbound steel rail and pipe from Europe for infrastructure projects in Western Canada.
As the fall shipping season progresses, the Port remains well-positioned to support efficient movement of bulk and project cargo.
