Which types of goods are handled through the port of Quebec city?

The port of Quebec City is a major transatlantic facility that primarily handles bulk goods conveyed via the St. Lawrence Seaway.1

While the broader St. Lawrence River system is a critical route for the transport of various commodities—including iron ore, grain, and coal—the port of Quebec City specifically supports the city's local manufacturing and industrial sectors. In addition to its role in handling bulk cargo, the port has become an important destination for the tourism industry, following the opening of a cruise-ship terminal in 2002.21
