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)
