The new rail transload terminal is at Pier 18 on Hamilton’s Bayfront, operated by the Hamilton Container Terminal (HCT). The partners aim to use the new terminal to increase supply chain capacity in southern Ontario, reduce truck movements and emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs). With approximately 20 percent southern Ontario-bound containers from Canadian ports destined for the Hamilton region, businesses can now take advantage of a cost effective alternative closer to home. The improvement in GHG emissions is accompanied by a significant reduction in complexity, logistics, and cost, assisting GTHA exporters’ competitiveness on the global stage.
