Canadian Coast Guard

To Finance Dredging Of

St. Lawrence At Montreal

An agreement was recently signed by the Port of Montreal and the

Canadian Coast Guard for the fi- nancing of a dredging project which would deepen the navigable depth of the channel by one foot. The present depth of the river at the Port of Montreal is 35 feet. The project is expected to be completed by the end of October.

According to an official at the port, the added foot would allow containerships with capacities of 2,100 TEUs to 2,500 TEUs to enter the port as compared to the present maximum sized 1,800 TEU vessels that the Canadian port can pres- ently handle.

The channel is to be deepened between Montreal and Quebec City with the Port of Montreal being the financing most of the project be- cause it is at the upstream end of the channel. About $1 million will be spent by the Port of Montreal on the project.
