Terminals
Globally Connected
Richardson moves grains and oilseeds from Western Canada to port terminals in British Columbia. These products are then shipped out to global markets. Richardson’s North Vancouver port terminal is one of the world’s most efficient facilities, with a storage capacity of approximately 180,000 metric tonnes. Richardson has 25 per cent ownership share in Cascadia terminal, situated near Vancouver, and is a partner in Prince Rupert Grain. These facilities are the three largest volume grain terminals in Canada.
In Eastern Canada, Richardson is focused on grain handling and merchandising and serves eastern growers through its port terminal elevators in Hamilton, Ontario, Thunder-Bay, Ontario, and Sorel, Québec. Agricultural commodities are shipped from this port terminal network to customers around the world. Richardson offers extensive contract flexibility, including closed-price contracts and contracts outlined in both U.S. and Canadian dollars.

THUNDER BAY TERMINALS
HAMILTON PORT TERMINAL
SOREL-TRACY TERMINAL
Richardson’s two terminals in Thunder Bay are some of Canada’s top handlers of durum wheat, feed peas and oats. The terminals are the furthest inland port terminals connecting Western Canada to the Atlantic Ocean and remain major hubs for shipping to the U.S., Mexico and South America.
Our port terminal in Hamilton, completed in 1998, is a favoured link for Ontario wheat, corn and soybeans and provides excellent access to both the Atlantic and U.S. markets.
Located on the St. Lawrence Seaway, our terminal in Sorel-Tracy is instrumental in developing new markets for locally grown crops such as corn and soybeans. The terminal transships grain from Western Canada.
