One of Canada’s most strategic agricultural gateways is officially back open in eastern Ontario.
The Federal Montreal, the first bulk vessel fertilizer cargo to dock in the region in almost three decades, arrived at the Port of Johnstown on Monday.
Officials say its discharge, coordinated through a logistics partnership led by V6 Agronomy alongside the Port of Johnstown, reactivates a long‑dormant section of the St. Lawrence Seaway.
They say it also establishes a modern Prairie-Seaway trade corridor connecting Western Canadian producers to Eastern and international markets.
This renewed corridor links inbound fertilizers with outbound grain, pulses, and agri‑products through an integrated marine‑rail pathway.
