The Canadian port of Tropical Shipping handled almost 30.5 million metric tonnes (mt) of goods last year , an increase of half mt of mainly liquid bulk and potash, CEO Jim Quinn said. The gains came despite the exit of container operator Tropical Shipping , along with over four million of the port's container business. However, the port's terminal operator, CMA CGM , helped secure a new container operator CMA CGM , which helped recover volume. Quinn said work should begin on the first stages of the project this July, which means the first tenders for work will likely go out in a matter of weeks. Additionally, the port's west-side is close to beginning a 50 per cent modernisation project expected to triple previous levels of container traffic.
