The Chamber of Marine Commerce (CMC) is the voice of the commercial marine industry.

Our members are:

• Domestic and international ship owners and ship operators
  
• Canadian and U.S. ports
  
• Industrial shippers (esp. grain, iron ore, steel, cement, sugar, salt, coal, ...)
  
• Canadian and American Seaway corporations
  
• Terminals, elevators, and logistics companies
  
• Marine-related companies
  

Every year, the commercial marine industry in Canada is responsible for:

• $10 billion in economic activity
• 100,000 jobs
• $117 billion in international trade
• 456 million tonnes of cargo
• 97% of all non-U.S. international trade
• saving thousands of heavy trucks from congesting our roads and highways
• reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions: greenhouse gas emissions from ships are one-tenth of those generated by trucks and one-half of those produced by trains (g/ton-kilometer)
