Canada Funds Montreal’s New Container Terminal

Canada’s federal government is providing financial support to the project to build a new container terminal to serve Montreal and the surrounding areas in the province of Quebec and eastern Canada. The project is designed to increase the Port of Montréal’s container capacity to meet the growing need for cargo transportation and will receive funding as part of the federal government’s efforts to ensure the country’s supply chain remains strong and is responding to changes.

 

The Minister of Transport and Quebec Lieutenant, Pablo Rodriguez, announced an investment of up to C$150 million (US$110 million) under the National Trade Corridors Fund to build a new container terminal for the Montréal Port Authority. Previously, in 2021 the Government of Quebec also committed C$55 million (US$40 million) in financial assistance to the Montreal Port Authority toward its expansion project.

 

“The Port of Montreal is an economic driver for the province of Quebec and Montreal, and a key element of our national supply chain,” said Minister Rodriguez. “By supporting the port in its expansion project, we continue our efforts to strengthen Canada’s supply chain. This is important so that we never again have to go through product shortages like we experienced during the pandemic, or the significant price increases that came along with them. ”

 

The plan for the construction of the new terminal includes an approximately 2,200-foot dock, including approach areas for ships. It will be located in the city of Contrecoeur, which is on the south bank of the St. Lawrence River approximately 40 miles northeast of Montreal.

 

The terminal will include a rail network connecting to the existing Canadian National Railway tracks, including a railway transfer point and freight transfer hub as well as road access and a container handling yard. When completed, this project will increase the total capacity of the Port of Montreal by 55 percent.

 

In 2021, the Port of Montreal’s expansion plan received a favorable Decision Statement from Canada’s Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, allowing the project to proceed. Port executives report that they will now proceed with a hybrid approach. The port authority will act as the prime contractor for the marine work phase, which includes dock construction and dredging work.

 

The port authority plans to issue a Request for Proposals in early 2024 to select a private partner to build the terminal. This will include the work for the container yard, buildings, facilities, and rail connection. When completed the new terminal at Contrecoeur will be able to handle up to 1.15 million containers annually.

 

The Port of Montreal is the only container terminal in Quebec. Overall, it is the second largest port in Canada with a diversified transshipment center that handles all types of goods including containerized and non-containerized cargo, liquid bulk, and dry bulk, and also has a cruise ship terminal.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
