Reading the Montreal logistics hub growth forecast from the dock
Port of Montreal is forecast to handle more containers, but the bottleneck isn't dock doors—it's drayage window length and sufferance warehouse hold time. We're seeing longer dwells because drayage is slower and carriers are tight on margin, not because the port can't handle volume. If the growth forecast is real, importers need to plan differently: longer lead time for drayage buffers, earlier sufferance bookings, and higher handling costs.
