A family-owned eastern Ontario shipping firm is expanding its service along the St. Lawrence Seaway, looking to compete against rail and truck operators for customers moving cargo between Canada’s east coast and markets across Ontario.
Doornekamp Lines launched scheduled marine shipping service this spring, moving containers and bulk cargo between Halifax and Picton, located west of Kingston. The shipping operation is a spinoff of Doornekamp Construction, which refurbished the Picton Terminals in 2015.
The Picton-Halifax service carries a range of products originating from around the world including steel from the United Kingdom, bauxite and gypsum from Newfoundland and Turkey, sugar from Brazil, as well as farming and steel products.
