Freight traffic
Make a comment on this indicator
Methodology
Data concerning marine traffic
in Montreal reports the volume of freight unloaded in the Port of
Montreal.
The freight is divided into
two major categories, each with two sub-categories: general freight
(containerized and non-containerized, as well as the total of both)
and bulk goods (dry and liquid).
The volume is expressed in metric tons and the data, both quarterly
and annual, is raw – neither deseasonalized nor
annualized.
