News
Whether by road, sea or air, companies in Charlevoix have access to a modern, reliable and efficient transportation network for their goods to reach their destination safely.
By Sea
Its deep-sea wharf and links to more than 100 countries in the world by regular service from several shipping companies make the Pointe-au-Pic Port in La Malbaie, at 6 kilometres from the Clermont Industrial Park the ideal transfer point for transatlantic cargo. Located 500 km inland, open year-round and reliably linked by rail to Quebec City, Montreal and the American midwest markets, the Port is one of the shortest and quickest route between industrial American and Europe.
By Air
Charlevoix enjoys the services of the Saint-Irénée Regional Airport located 15 minutes away from the Clermont Industrial Park.
By Road
An integrated road network lends itself to fast transport of goods to the great cities in North America. Heavy trucks and turnpike doubles are used for commercial purposes in the Charlevoix region. Therefore, 64% of Quebec exports to the United States travel by road. North American deregulations ensure highly competitive trucking rates.
By Rail
Efficient rail service from Clermont, crossing the whole of Charlevoix and linked to the global rail network in Canada, the United States and Mexico makes transporting goods easy. Inter modal transport lets stacked trains hasten transit towards Canadian and American markets.
