About Montreal
Montreal is the fastest Canadian routing on the transatlantic lane and the fastest crossing anywhere in our Americas network, reached by a direct Atlantic sailing followed by a passage up the St. Lawrence. It serves Quebec and Ontario, where most of Canada's population and industry sits. The St. Lawrence routing is affected by winter conditions, so schedules between roughly December and March are less uniform than the rest of the year.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Montreal — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 10–15 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider Canada lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
