Conditions of navigation

Ice

An icebreaker is available on request for escort up and down the river as soon as ice conditions become severe for commercial shipping.

 

Hydrography

The Saguenay has a width of 2,200 m from the facade of the wharf to the opposite land line. This body of water easily allows ships of high tonnage to manoeuvre freely.

 

Berths
Ships may anchor on the north side of the river upstream of the wharf.

 

Wind
The particular topography of the site protects it from the prevailing W.S.E. winds.
