Ports Niagara

NED along with Ports Niagara are working together to market all of the assets and infrastructure along the Welland Canal. We also demonstrate the strategic advantages of utilizing the land and services along the canal corridor to meet your transportation, logistics and manufacturing needs.

The Welland Canal corridor has 20 wharves along its 43 km stretch from Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. The canal overcomes the 99.5 m difference between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie with eight locks. Every year, the Welland Canal has tens of millions of tons of cargo shipped through.

Ports Niagara is a key part of a multimodal hub that can take your products by rail, road, air or water. The canal is within an hours drive to two international airports and 4 border crossings.

Building and maintaining this valuable partnership will help NED and Ports Niagara make Niagara, Canada the place to be for the shipping industry.
