This fact sheet describes the effects of and the risks associated with shipping. Maritime activity involves the significant development of port facilities. Certain factors linked to navigation threaten the fluvial environment and its uses: the circulation of heavy vessels, which increase shoreline erosion, deballasting, which stirs up contaminated sediments, and accidental spills. Experienced and well-trained pilots are thereby essential. The security measures imposed by the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act are also described. Since petroleum products represent the largest proportion of such goods, bird-cleaning centres have been established all along the river, ready to intervene in the event of a spill. A summary of the federal emergency plans is also provided, as is an ecological and economic map of the St. Lawrence, followed by a section on accident prevention.
