Viterra in discussions

MM&D MAGAZINE, MARCH/APRIL 2011

Viterra Inc is in discussions to lease and operate the Montreal Port Authority (MPA) Grain Terminal. The MPA Grain Terminal is a CGC licensed transfer elevator that operates year round and has a storage capacity of 262,000 tonnes. The terminal connects directly to both CN and CP rail networks.

In other news, Viterra has signed a Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with CN and CP to improve logistical efficiencies in Western Canada’s grain handling system. The MOUs both focus on supply chain optimization. The parties want to establish specific metrics to measure performance in areas such as order placement and handling, country execution, transit and port performance.
