CN and the Montreal Port Authority (MPA) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that commits both parties to develop a best-practices vision for the gateway's supply chain, improve productivity, and leverage these gains to increase their transportation market share.
Claude Mongeau, CN president & CEO, pointed out that the Port of Montreal is a leading gateway for freight traffic moving between North America's industrial heartland and northern European and Mediterranean markets.
"Our MOU with the port authority establishes the framework to develop greater supply chain efficiencies and to grow our share of freight traffic moving between Europe and markets in Ontario and the US Midwest," said Mongeau.
This agreement follows similar collaboration agreements between CN and ports on both the west and east coasts of Canada, including those with Prince Rupert Port & Maher Terminals, DP World & Vancouver Centerm Terminal and Halifax Port Authority & Cerescorp & Halterm Container Terminal.
CN aims to reach supply chain collaboration pacts with all of Canada's major east and west coast ports.
