Matane Port Facilities Expansion Project

Société portuaire du Bas-Saint-Laurent et de la Gaspésie (SPBSG) is proposing the expansion of the port facilities in Matane, Quebec. As proposed, the project would include the construction of a new commercial wharf, the reconstruction and extension of the existing commercial wharf, dredging activities, and the addition of a storage area. The project would add two new terminals, including one designed to handle ships larger than 25 000 tons deadweight.

Latest update

March 5, 2026 — The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) issued an early decision that no further assessment is required. IAAC’s analysis found the project’s potential adverse effects within federal jurisdiction would be limited or addressed through other means, as noted in the Notice of Early Decision with Reasons.
