This year, the Castillo de\u00a0Malpica, arriving from the United States, docked at the port\u2019s quays at 6:48\u00a0a.m. on January 4, 2025. Indian Captain Tarapore Burgess Dadi, who commanded the vessel, was awarded the prestigious Golden-Headed Cane.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-heading js-anim js-anim-scroll-top\"  ><div class=\"container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Tradition Steeped in History<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph js-anim js-anim-scroll-top\"  ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>Established in 1835, the tradition of the Golden-Headed Cane dates to the achievement of shipbuilder John Munn, who was the first to cross the Atlantic aboard a steamship built in Qu\u00e9bec. Welcomed in England with a gold-plated snuffbox to commemorate his feat, he brought the idea back to Qu\u00e9bec, deciding to honour the captain of the first ship of the year to navigate the waters of the St. Lawrence River successfully. Over time, the snuffbox was replaced by the now-famous Golden-Headed Cane. This symbol of prosperity, wealth, and good fortune features a golden head, and a body made of cherry wood, a material reminiscent of Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s shipbuilding traditions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph js-anim js-anim-scroll-top\"  ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>\u201cThis maritime ceremony, perpetuated for nearly two centuries, is one of the most iconic in our industry. It reflects the timeless maritime spirit that drives the Port of Qu\u00e9bec. We are proud to keep this tradition alive, highlighting not only the captain and crew\u2019s expertise but also the maritime community\u2019s outstanding teamwork, including pilots, tug operators, stevedores, and logisticians,\u201d said Mario Girard.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-heading js-anim js-anim-scroll-top\"  ><div class=\"container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exceptional Navigation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph js-anim js-anim-scroll-top\"  ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>The Castillo de\u00a0Malpica, a vessel built in 2015, demonstrated remarkable skill in navigating the challenging waters of the St. Lawrence River, particularly during this winter. After a trip from the USA, it docked at the port, where it will be loading iron ore pellets. Around 6\u00a0million tons of iron is transshipped every year at the Port of Qu\u00e9bec, which represents 118 times the iron used to make the Qu\u00e9bec Bridge. Over 98% of iron is turned into steel (ex.: household appliances, infrastructure, car manufacturing, etc.). The ship will then head back to France.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph js-anim js-anim-scroll-top\"  ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>The Port of Qu\u00e9bec remains a hub of maritime activity, reaffirming its essential role in the region\u2019s economic development and maritime culture.
