The Proposed Project

The Trois-Rivières Port Authority is proposing an expansion project to increase the transshipping and storage capacity of the port. The project will consist of installing a multi-user terminal with a transshipping area, a short-term storage area, connecting wells and pipelines the length of the wharfs, as well as an access road on the west side. Three new 231-metre berths will be built. A retaining wall and riprap are also planned for the far western end of the new facilities.
