MONTREAL PORT AUTHORITY
With the support of Canada Infrastructure Bank and private partners,
the Port of Montreal intends to develop a new state-of-the-art container
terminal. The greenfield terminal will be fully connected to the regional
transportation hub, including a Class 1 railroad and highway connections.
After receiving a favourable decision statement to proceed with this
expansion, the project is moving forward through a hybrid approach:
a collaborative Design-Build process for the water works, under MPA
management, and a DBFOM (Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Maintain)
contract to a Private Partner for the land site works and terminal operation through a Request for Proposals to be issued in early 2024.
