About The Project

In September 2025, the Montreal Port Authority (MPA) and DP World in Canada (a joint venture between DP World and La Caisse) entered into a Joint Development Agreement for the design of the land-based works of the future container terminal. Under the agreement, the MPA and DP World’s Canadian operations will finalize the terminal’s design as well as the terms of the construction and operating contract, which will take effect with the start of land works. The Contrecoeur expansion project is based on a hybrid approach, with in-water works are overseen by the MPA and have been planned in collaboration with CTCGP, using a collaborative design-build approach. Land works and operations will be under the responsibility of DP World, which will lead the construction of the terminal (container yard, buildings, utilities, and rail connection) and ensure its operation and maintenance for the next 40 years.
