“Thriving in uncertain times”: 10.6 million metric tonnes of cargo transited the ports of Hamilton and Oshawa in 2020.

Despite a 30% dip in the spring, the Port of Oshawa posted its best season ever, and Hamilton’s was almost exactly on par with 2019’s totals by the season’s close.

It’s officially lay up season! Over the winter months, ten laker vessels will be laid up at #HamiltonPort for repair and maintenance. Some of these vessels are also being used for extra storage and will be offloading bulk materials slowly for future use by port partners. #FreighterFriday #PortPics #PortShips

Who’s over winter already and ready for boating season? The Toronto International Boat Show may be virtual this year, but no exhibit – real or digital – compares to being out on our beautiful Harbour. If you're looking for a new home, consider Harbour West Marina.

Our last #FreighterFriday of 2020 falls on Christmas Day. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Port of #Oshawa!

Oshawa Port is on track for its best year ever, with cargo at this smaller port exceeding 600,000 metric tonnes for the first time, driven by strong trade in fertilizer, grain, steel and cement.
