Flags: State flag at the stern, Canadian flag on the mast.
Notices of readiness: As per Charter Party or upon docking with first line ashore.
General notices & regulations: The Montreal Marine Traffic Regulating Centre prepares and maintains an order of transit roster for vessels proceeding into the St Lawrence Seaway. Masters of vessels establish their turn by calling Montreal on VHF Ch 10 when in all respects ready for transit, stating the name of the vessel, length, present location, destination, draught forward and aft.
The Regulating Centre will notify the ship in sufficient time to make ready to proceed and will arrange for the pilot to board. In order not to miss their turn vessels are required to maintain a radio watch on the frequency for the sector they are in.
Dangerous goods handling permit: Any dangerous goods entering the port are required to have a permit. The Dangerous Goods Permit request form, which is provided by the Montreal Port Authority, must be filled out by the agent responsible and returned to the Harbour Master's Department as quickly as possible.
Burning and welding permits: Before any hot work is carried out in the port, a burning and welding permit application must be submitted to the Harbour Master's Control Centre.
Permit for laying up a vessel: A permit is required for any vessel moored at the port. The form entitled "Permission to lay up a vessel" provided by the Montreal Port Authority, must be completed by the agent and returned to the Harbour Master's Department as soon as possible.

Navigation

Port limits: For administrative purposes, the downstream limit of the port of Montreal coincides with the upstream limit of Sorel, crossing the St Lawrence River in the vicinity of 46°01'N 073°10'W. The S limit is marked by Pont Victoria (Victoria Bridge), 45°30'N 073°31'W.
Sea buoys, fairways and channels: There are no locks between the mouth of the St Lawrence and Montreal. The channel, open all year round, is dredged to a depth of 11.3m at CD.
Controlling depths: S of a line joining "M189" Lightbuoy (port hand) (E of Berth No 48) and Ile Sainte-Helene Lightbuoy (preferred channel to port) (E of Berth No 39) the least depth in the channel is 8.2m. The channel has a least width of 244m until it approaches Jacques-Cartier Bridge where it narrows to 168m.
Pilot: Compulsory. Pilots board inbound vessels at the Les Escoumins Pilotage Station at Anse-aux-Basques (48°19.0'N 069°25.0'W). Pilots are exchanged at Quebec City and again at Trois-Rivieres for the passage to Montreal. Pilot stations for W bound vessels to Montreal are the same as for vessels inbound to Quebec:
St Lawrence River pilots ensure the berthage and departure of vessels; Montreal Harbour pilots provide all subsequent harbour movements within the limits of the Port of Montreal.
ETA: Due to the above mentioned pilotage system, pilot stations for westbound vessels to Montreal are the same as for vessels in bound to Quebec.
ETD: The Master of a vessel leaving the port must send a first departure notice to the Laurentian Pilotage Authority 12 hours before the estimated time of departure (ETD) and a final notice 4 hours prior to departure, either confirming or amending the ETD. Notice of 3 hours should be given if the vessel is planning to move anywhere within the port.
Laurentian Pilotage Authority, Tel: +1 514 283 6320, Fax: +1 514 496 2409.
Anchorages: Anchorages are available at Lanoraie, Pointe-aux-Trembles, Montreal-East and opposite the grain terminal - Longueuil anchorage. These are allocated by the Harbour Master.
There is a prohibited anchorage area, due to the presence of submarine pipelines, approx 0.7nm upstream of Pointe-aux-Trembles anchorage.
No vessel is permitted to anchor in an area extending 61m on each side of the centre line of the Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine Tunnel, abreast Longue-Pointe, due to the possibility of causing damage.
Tidal range and flow: Nil.
The current alongside the berths is generally 2kts, with the exception of the area W of Sainte-Helene Island, where St Mary's current is generally 4.5kts and sometimes reaches 6.5kts.
Up-to-date information may be obtained from the Vessel Traffic Services Centre or the Coast Guard Traffic Centre.
Dock density: 1000.
Weather: Prevailing winds: W'ly. Temperatures range from -33°C to 35°C. Average annual rainfall is approx 950mm.
Charts: BA 421, 422. Canadian 1310. Admiralty Pilot NP65, NP286(5).
Restrictions: The port is open all year round, but due to likely ice conditions from Dec to Mar, inclusive, it is recommended that vessels navigating to Montreal be strengthened for ice.
Although the port is open all year round, night navigation may not be possible from mid Dec to early Apr when the summer buoys are removed.
Bridges: Pont Jacques-Cartier: A road bridge crosses the river between Montreal and Ile Sainte-Helene, then crosses the N end of Ile Notre Dame to the E shore. The length of the main span is 334m. The bridge has a vertical clearance of 49m across a distance of 152m under the centre of the main span, and of 51m over the ship channel, and a vertical clearance of 43m over Canal de la Rive Sud between Ile Notre Dame and the E shore.
Lights exhibited from under the main span indicate the limits of the channel under the bridge and lights on the bridge indicate the centre line of the channel.
Pont Victoria: A combined road and railway bridge, spans the river approx 2.0nm above Pont Jacques Cartier. The bridge joins Montreal and Saint Lambert, (45°30'N 073°31'W), crossing the lower end of Saint-Lambert Lock, the first lock on the St Lawrence Seaway. Another road and rail bridge spans the upstream end of the lock. Both bridges have vertical lift sections over the lock, with vertical clearances of 36.6m.
Pont de la Concorde joins the lower end of Cite-du-Havre to Ile Sainte-Helene.
Overhead cables: Power transmission lines with a min vertical clearance of 53.9m, (48.1m under severe ice conditions), span the main ship channel near the S end of Ile Sainte-Therese at the N end of the harbour. The supporting towers on each side of the river and on the mid river islands are marked by red lights.
Power transmission lines with a minimum overhead clearance of 53.6m, span the main ship channel from Longue-Pointe to Ile Charron, the supporting towers are marked by red lights.
Power transmission lines, with a min overhead clearance of 22m on the W side and 32m on the E side span the river close N of Pont Victoria. This same power line crosses the Canal De La Rive Sud with a vertical clearance of 48.7m.
Another power transmission line crosses the river 0.3nm S of Pont Victoria, with a vertical clearance of 46m over the Canal de la Rive Sud.
Tugs: There are 12 tugs available from McAllister Towage and Salvage, ranging from 1,200-4,400bhp.
Coastguard: Montreal, Tel: +1 514 283 7056; Fax: +1 514 283 6595.
Mooring information:

1.	Pilots:
	River pilots dock and undock vessels on arrival and departure. Harbour pilots perform any subsequent moves within the harbour limits.
2.	Tugs:
	The need for tugs to handle vessels in the harbour depends upon the dimensions of the vessel, the berth location, the velocity of the current in that vicinity, and any other prevailing conditions in the immediate berthing area and is at Masters discretion with pilots advice.
3.	Linesmen:
	The tending of mooring lines for docking and undocking vessels is performed by labour from the terminals and/or Urgence Marine also provides the service. A minimum of 4 hours notice is required and ordering of linesmen should be done through the ship's local agent.
4.	Boatmen:
	Boatmen are not normally required for tending lines but boatmen services for that purpose are available if necessary. Linemen and boatmen services are available at all times, contact Harbour Master's Office Control Centre, Tel: +1 514 283 7022. Two boatmen vessels are in service 24 hours a day. Contact WestPier Marine, Tel: +1 514 640 0698.
