Brimming with new ideas, the company focuses on custom-designed solutions for the complex operations surrounding the handling, transhipment and storage of cargo. Our team of specialists analyzes the work to be done and proposes practical and innovative solutions. Techniques to handle oversized and extremely heavy pieces of equipment have also been developed.

Here are a few of our latest success stories:

Handling of wind turbines

Since 2006, we have been responsible for unloading G.E. towers for Sky Power at Gros-Cacouna.

At the Port of Hamilton, we are responsible for unloading huge G.E. and Transera wind turbine components for Vestas.

In 2005 and 2006, with specialized clamps developed by our engineers, we took care of loading, at the Bécancour Waterfront Industrial Park, G.E. towers manufactured by Marmen in Cap-de-la-Madeleine.

Also, using specially designed equipment, we have unloaded enormous components in Gaspé and Matane for wind turbines in Murdochville.

In 2001, at the Port of Oshawa, we unloaded huge components for Ontario Power Generation in Pickering, Ontario.

Special projects

In 2006, in Hamilton, we were responsible for loading disassembled Stelco and Petro-Canada plants.

We recently loaded, at Port Saguenay’s Grande-Anse terminal, 336 busbars headed for an aluminum smelter under construction in Iceland.

In 2004, at the Port of Sept-Îles, we handled the enormous pieces of equipment to be used for expanding the Alouette aluminum smelter in the area.

A few years ago, at the Port of Québec, we unloaded huge pieces of equipment headed for the Ultramar refinery.

In 1997, at the Port of Québec, Falconbridge entrusted us with loading onto barges ten ADM Trader units, whose height was the equivalent of a ten-story building.

For over ten years, at the Port of Côte-Sainte-Catherine, we have specialized in loading, on an annual basis, some 50,000 m³ of various cargoes headed for the Canadian Arctic.

At the Bécancour Waterfront Industrial Park, our team takes care of handling goods and equipment for the British Army, whereas at the Grande-Anse terminal, at Port Saguenay, we handle explosives for Paramount. These two contracts are the result of a long-term business relationship made possible because we adapted our facilities to meet our clients’ specific needs.

Dry bulk

At the Port of Québec, St. Lawrence Stevedoring (SLS) can accommodate vessels with a deadweight capacity of 150,000 tonnes.

Here are a few examples of large-size cargoes handled:
