QUEBEC CITY — Quebec City-based maritime terminal operator QSL has announced it will build three new warehouses in the Sorel-Tracy region of Quebec and launch a new pilot project using new stevedoring equipment at a cost of $15 million.
The new warehouses are set to be built this year.
The Sorel-Tracy terminal is a multimodal hub with connections to rail and Highway 30, noted a recent release. The expansion is intended to address growing demand in steel, oversize cargo shipment and agricultural products, said the firm.
Two new pieces of equipment from the Irish firm Combilift will be installed — a straddle carrier and sidelift will handle oversized loads among other uses.
“Innovation is a group effort,” said QSL president and CEO Robert Bellisle in the statement. “We’re proud of what our seasoned operators, optimization teams and engineers have accomplished in these projects.”
