THE geared 12,671-dwt general cargo ship Claude A Desgagnes departed from the Port of Montreal bound for Toronto departed on the morning of October 20.
It's the first time in over a decade that a shipment like this has happened and the practice of container cabotage from Montreal to the Great Lakes has been abandoned since the early 1980s. It almost occurred in 2009, but they favoured transit by truck or rail.
Ontario consumers and businesses can benefit from this shipping solution because of the collaboration between the Mediterranean Shipping Company and Groupe Desgagn¨¦s, in which they offer importers and exporters an alternative that provides cost and time savings.
The collaboration between MSC Canada and Groupe Desgagnes demonstrates an ongoing commitment of these two Port of Montreal partners to their clients.
