At the Heart of Canada’s and Hamilton’s 

Business COMMUNITY 

Situated at the western end of Lake Ontario, the Port of Hamilton is Canada’s busiest 

commercial Great Lakes port and pivotal to the movement of domestic and international cargo 

around the world. The Port of Hamilton links Canada’s industrial heartland to the St. Lawrence 

Seaway while providing business with direct connections to major highways and rail networks 

both in Ontario and the United States. 

Its strategic location at the hub of Ontario’s Golden Horseshoe reinforces the Port’s role in the 

development of key metal and metal-based industries, which are at the centre of the economic 

base for the Hamilton area and the Province of Ontario. 

A major manufacturing centre, the Port of Hamilton is one of Canada's largest industrial 

complexes. It is for this reason that the City of Hamilton’s Economic Development Division has 

recognized the Port of Hamilton as a key economic cluster and a critical strategic partner. 

A major manufacturing centre, the Port of Hamilton is one 

of Canada's largest industrial complexes.

Targeting New BUSINESS 

The Port of Hamilton is committed to supporting business development by facilitating and 

encouraging increased shipping activity, land development and property leasing. 

Two areas of port land have been identified for future potential and are at the centre of the Port 

of Hamilton’s development planning: Eastport, comprising of Piers 24-27, and the Pier 14/15 

gateway. 

Plans for Eastport include the development of new and expanded operations in commerce and 

transportation. At the Pier 14/15 gateway, the Hamilton Port Authority is prepared to build and 

lease buildings and facilities as interested tenants are identified. This area is slated to become 

a high-end industrial business park for companies with a track record of sound business 

and environmental practices.

Port Improvements and Recent INITIATIVES 

Marinelink 

The Hamilton Port Authority and its partners are promoting the potential of commercial 

cross-lake freight ferry services. These services will alleviate the pressure that increased trade 

has placed, and will continue to place, on border crossings. They will also provide an alternative 

route for freight faced with ever increasing highway congestion and crowded rail yards. A 

Marinelink between the Port of Hamilton and the Port of Oswego, New York is currently under 

consideration. 

Hwy H 2 O 

Approximately 45 million tonnes of cargo transit the St. Lawrence Seaway each year and the 

Port of Hamilton accounts for a significant portion of this tonnage. Roughly 25% of all seaway 

cargo moved through Hamilton in 2004. In an effort to raise the international profile of the 

Seaway, the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation together with its sponsors, partners 

and commercial operations like the Port of Hamilton, have supported the branding of the seaway 

as “Hwy H 2 O”. 

Comprised of the St. Lawrence River, the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes, Hwy H 2 O is 

a 3,700 kilometre marine highway that runs between Canada and the United States. Highway 

H 2 O flows directly into the commercial, industrial and agricultural heartland of both Canada and 

the United States and is home to 100 million people. 

Highway Improvements 

Port facilities at Eastport benefit from ready access to international rail lines and the Queen 

Elizabeth Way leading to the U.S. border, crossing at Fort Erie/Buffalo, only an hour’s drive away. 

Work is underway on the Red Hill Expressway which, when completed, will provide a direct link 

to the eastern end of the port, between the Highway 403/401 corridor and the Queen Elizabeth 

Way to Toronto/Niagara, as well as Canada’s fastest growing air cargo hub at John C. Munro 

Hamilton International Airport.

Port HIGHLIGHTS 

Outstanding Facilities 

Hamilton Harbour is a deep, natural, freshwater harbour, which can accommodate any seaway 

size vessel. The Hamilton Port Authority operates the port and 200 hectares of industrial, 

commercial and recreational lands including approximately 11,000 metres of docking facilities. 

The port provides all necessary services to ensure quick and efficient movement of cargo 

including: stevedoring, tugboat services, ro-ro, container handling, warehousing, liquid and dry 

bulk storage, ship chandlering, fresh water service, fuel and shore power installations. 

Diversity of Industry 

More than 100 business operate on the lands owned by the Port Authority and the range of 

industries located there is as diverse as the types of cargo that flow through it including metal 

production, brewing, environmental services, industrial products, food processing and more. As 

an integral part of Canada’s transportation network, the Port of Hamilton plays a key role in the 

storage, handling and distribution of both international and domestic commodities. 

Available Capacity 

The Hamilton Port Authority handles the largest volume of cargo and shipping traffic of all 

Canadian Great Lakes ports. Annual tonnage has increased steadily and in 2004 the port saw 

cargo volumes in excess of 12 million metric tonnes, ranking it among the top ten ports in 

Canada. Overall annual tonnage in 2004 was comprised of: 

Break bulk – 1,031,675 metric tonnes 

Liquid Bulk – 554,377 metric tonnes 

Dry Bulk – 10,421,780 metric tonnes 

The 700 vessels that arrive annually at the Port of Hamilton berth at some of the 11,000 metres 

of dockwall available through the port’s 15 piers. These vessels carry cargoes ranging from 

raw materials such as coal and iron ore, salt and sand, grains and soybeans, liquid fertilizer to 

jet fuel. 

Business Satisfaction 

In a recent survey of Hamilton’s port-related industries, transportation infrastructure and access 

to transportation networks were cited as the two most important variables driving business 

location decisions. Almost 80% of those surveyed, which included companies based in and out of 

the port, expressed a high level of satisfaction with their Hamilton business operations.
