Established in 1903, the Shipping Federation of Canada is the organization that represents shipowners, shipoperators and agents of ships that carry Canada’s imports and exports to and from world markets.
 

Our members' vessels serve trade lanes that are essential to the Canadian economy, calling ports in
Atlantic Canada, the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes, the West Coast and the Arctic. The goods we move
range from containerized consumer and manufactured goods – to dry bulk commodities such as grain and
coal – to liquid bulk such as crude and oil products. We also represent cruise and passenger vessels.
 

With offices in Montreal and Vancouver, and members throughout the country, the Federation delivers a national mandate on all matters affecting the operation of international shipping from Atlantic Canada, to the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes, to the West coast and the Arctic.

​

The Federation's overall objective is to work towards a safe, efficient, competitive, environmentally sustainable and quality-oriented marine transportation system.
