Montreal Port Authority in Quebec, Canada has launched a request for qualifications (RFQ) seeking private partner for design, construction, financing, operation, and maintenance of the Contrecoeur container terminal. The container terminal will have capacity to handle 1.15 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs).

The project located approximately 40 kilometres downstream from Montreal will allow the proponent to accommodate vessels between 39,000 and 75,400 deadweight tonnage (DWT) as well as increasing its annual container handling capacity. The proponent, the Montreal Port Authority, estimates that the project would create approximately 5,000 jobs during the construction phase and generate just over 1,000 direct jobs during the operations phase.

The RFQ aims to shortlist at least three bidders for the next stages of the procurement process. The deadline to submit the qualifications is March 01, 2022. For more information about this RFQ, visit our business opportunities page here.
