The Port of Montreal (French: Port de Montréal) (ACI Canadian Port Code: 0395,[6][7] UN/LOCODE: CA MTR)[8][9] is a cruise and transshipment point. It is located on the St. Lawrence River in Montreal, Québec, Canada. The port operates as an international container port. It services Toronto, the rest of Central Canada, the Midwestern United States, and the Northeastern United States.[10] Though found on the Saint Lawrence Seaway, it is some 1,600 miles (2,600 km) inland from the Atlantic Ocean and it is on the shortest direct route between the North American Midwest and Europe or the Mediterranean.

In 2019, more than 2,000 cargo ships visited with the port, while handling 40,500,000[4] metric tonnes of consumer goods, machinery, cereal, sugar, petroleum products, and other types of cargo. Montreal also welcomes cruise ships. The port is operated by the Montreal Port Authority.
