Port of Hamilton Receives Government Funding for Steel Handling

As steel volumes continue to grow, the Port of Hamilton, Ontario, is receiving funding from the Canadian government to increase its steel handling productivity.

Canada’s National Trade Corridors Fund is providing CAD $4.9 million (US $3.65 million) in funding to relieve supply chain congestion at the port. The waterway is a critical piece of infrastructure for the country’s steel, automotive, construction, furniture, appliances, and pre-engineered buildings industries.
