TROIS-RIVIÈRES, QC, June 17, 2026 /CNW/ - The Trois-Rivières Port Authority (TRPA) held its Annual General Meeting today at the Marine Terminal, during which it presented highlights and its 2025 annual report.
The Chair of the Board of Directors, Me Véronique Néron, and the President and CEO of the TRPA, Anick Métivier, reviewed the past year and provided an update on operations and projects carried out at the Port of Trois-Rivières over the last year.
As previously announced earlier this year during the presentation of the annual results, the Port of Trois-Rivières handled 2.6 million metric tonnes (MT) of cargo in 2025, supporting regional and international trade. Traffic consisted of 1.9 MT of dry bulk, 198,000 tonnes of liquid bulk, and 485,000 tonnes of general cargo. The decrease observed was planned and results from major infrastructure projects currently underway, aimed at sustainably increasing the Port's productivity and competitiveness.
The year 2025 was marked by a major transformation of port infrastructure, driven by the most ambitious project in the Port's history. This evolution is built on the commitment of bold and visionary partners, as well as the exceptional mobilization of longshore workers and the entire port workforce.
With a team of approximately thirty employees, the Port of Trois-Rivières continues to actively pursue its commitment to the Trois-Rivières community. In line with its desire to act as a responsible, engaged, and sustainable corporate citizen, it supported 65 organizations in 2025 through its donations and sponsorships program, as well as numerous initiatives, events, and local projects, contributing to the region's social, cultural, and economic vitality.
