Overview:

      The eastern commercial port of Canada. Located in the middle reaches of the St. Lawrence River and the Ottawa River near the intersection. It is 838 nautical miles to the sea through bell Island channel and 690 nautical miles to the sea through Cabot channel. The St. Lawrence River is 960 kilometers long, connecting five freshwater lakes and St. Lawrence Bay. After the comprehensive renovation in the 1950s, the water depth of the whole line is more than 8.2 meters, and 10000 ton seagoing ships can reach the five lakes directly. Due to the regulation of the water volume of the great lake, the water level of the channel is stable, and the annual freight volume is more than 40 million tons. The water depth of the channel below Montreal port is more than 10.9 meters, and ships with a draft of 10 meters can reach it. However, due to the influence of the cold current in El Labrador, the freezing period is from December to the first ten days of April of the next year.
