OTTAWA: Port Metro Vancouver and the Port of Montreal are both set to see healthy growth in terms of both tonnage and container spheres, echoing the positive growth expected to occur in the wider Canadian economy.
Indeed, total trade growth, buoyed by exports, will return to the positive in 2015 following two years of contractions.
Based purely on year-on-year (y-o-y) growth, rather than tonnage handled, the outperforming Canadian port is set to be the Port of Prince Rupert, which is pencilled in to see y-o-y gains of just over 12% in 2015. The Port of Montreal is poised to come in first place in terms of annual tonnage growth (4.83%).
