Grain and Potash Drive Thunder Bay Port Volumes Upward
Port of Thunder Bay reports July gains with grain shipments rising by 136 000 metric tons year over year and total cargo exceeding 1 000 000 metric tons for the month. Potash exports remain well above average, with 60 000 metric tons more handled than last year, while Keefer Terminal moved nearly 20 000 tons of phosphate fertilizer. Cruise visits add to activity as the port plans 2026 expansions funded partly by the National Trade Corridors Fund to boost breakbulk and bulk cargo handling.
