Geographical location<\/h3 >\n
\n

As the last deep-water port before the Great Lakes, the Port of Qu\u00e9bec is the gateway to North <\/span>America\u2019s industrial and agricultural heartland.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Port\u2019s water depth allows cargo to be transshipped between deep-draft ships and smaller <\/span>vessels capable of making their way upriver to the Great Lakes, where the market serves over <\/span>100 million people. What\u2019s more, its prime location on the St. Lawrence, 1,300 kilometres from <\/span>the Atlantic, grants access to the large North American Midwest market.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n
