#vikingoctantis easing into #portoftoronto this morning. Some shipshape shots plus a few from my pre-dawn meanderings in nearby Cherry Beach. I’ll do this in my kayak one fine morning but today was surprisingly cold, so it was a car and long underwear plus big parka kind of event this time around.

A sure sign of spring – the MV Wigeon, the first “saltie” of the season at the #PortofToronto delivering over 20 thousand metric tonnes of sugar to @redpath_sugar. 📷 @natured_within #shipspotting #frieghterfriday
Exciting News! Cruising the Great Lakes is back next week. 🛳️ We can’t wait to welcome the MV Viking Polaris to the @PortofToronto on April 17. 2024 is set to be another strong cruise ship season, with 36 ships expected to call at the part between May and October. #greatlakes #cruising #PortofToronto
This morning, @PortsToronto CEO @RJSteenstra “crowned” Captain Kobylyashnyy of the MV Wigeon with an antique silk top hat during the @PortofToronto’s annual Top Hat Ceremony. For the past 163 years, PortsToronto has celebrated the official opening of the commercial shipping season by crowning the captain of the first ocean-going vessel or “saltie” to arrive at the port. This year the MV Wigeon won the race to be the first ship to Port, arriving from Recife, Brazil with more than 20,800 metric tonnes of sugar for @Redpath_Sugar. Learn more at the link in our bio. #MarineDelivers #HighwayH2O #PortofToronto ... Ce matin, à l’occasion de la cérémonie annuelle du haut-de-forme organisée au @PortdeToronto, le président et chef de la direction de @PortsToronto @RJSteenstra a « couronné » M. Kobylyashnyy, capitaine du NM Wigeon, en le coiffant d’un antique haut-de-forme en soie. Cela fait 163 ans que PortsToronto célèbre l’ouverture officielle de la saison de navigation commerciale en couronnant ainsi le capitaine du premier navire océanique – ou « salé » – à entrer au port. Cette année, c’est le NM Wigeon qui a remporté la course en arrivant le premier au port. Parti de Recife, au Brésil, il est venu livrer plus de 20 800 tonnes de sucre à la raffinerie @sucreredpath. Pour en savoir plus, cliquez sur le lien dans notre bio.
We are gearing up for an exciting week at the #PortofToronto! Tomorrow is the 2024 Top Hat Ceremony aboard the MV Wigeon. As the first ocean-vessel (or “saltie”) to reach the Port of Toronto this spring, this arrival marks the beginning of a new shipping season.
In addition to its significant economic impact, generating more than $460 million in economic activity in Ontario, increased imports through the @portoftoronto has a positive impact on the environment. “The Port of Toronto is part of an environmentally sustainable, marine transportation corridor through the Great Lakes – St. Lawrence Seaway and facilitates the movement of goods and people through Canada’s largest city and most populous region” -RJ Steenstra, President & CEO of @PortsToronto. The 2.3 million metric tonnes of cargo delivered by ship last year took approximately 57,000, 40-tonne trucks off Toronto's congested roads and highways. #PortofToronto #Shipping #GreatLakes
Exceptional news from the Port of Toronto! In 2023, we moved more than 2.3 million metric tonnes of cargo and welcomed a record 45 cruise ships to the Port of Toronto.

Tug boat Tuesday... Amy Lynn D with barge Jacob Joseph C in the Inner Harbour and Turning Basin at Port of Toronto on 16 December 2023. The projects in Toronto that ALD and the folks at Doornekamp have been involved with along the shoreline are great examples of the environmental benefits of maritime shipping. Not only is our carbon footprint reduced by eliminating all the transport trucks that would have been used in place of these barge deliveries, but our overall footprint is reduced as well. For instance, according to TRCA, we did not need to build dirt access roads to the final destinations on the shoreline and disturb or destroy habitats, which were surrounded by actively used parklands and trails. We were spared the dust. Those trucks would have kicked up on those access roads. We were spared the dust that would surely have ended up falling off the trucks along the highway journey. Given that I saw Amy Millan perform the same day that I saw Amy Lynn D, who better to turn to for a song to pair this post with? #amylynnd #portoftoronto #toronto #ontario #canada #mtyou #hwyh20 #doornekamp #lakeontario #greatlakes

Making the Connection Did you know the ferry from Billy Bishop Airport to the mainland is just 121 meters? Making it one of the shortest ferries in the world. I ventured out last night even though it was pretty chilly and wanted to capture the sun setting in the channel of the west harbour. It was a little cloudy on the horizon but fortunately there was enough of a break I captured the sun behind the ferry as it was heading to the mainland. I even managed a two minute Timelapse which I shortened by speeding it up 4X. Check it out! The clouds were phenomenal. Let me know what you think in the comments. I try to respond because to me if someone is taking their time to comment, I think it’s equally important to respond to that person. Thanks for looking. #billybishopairport✈️ #billybishoptorontocityairport #ytz #toronto #ferry #marilynbell1 #sunset #sunsets #sunset_pics #sunsetlovers #bestofthe_greatwhitenorth #onlythebestcaptures #iconictoronto #tdot_shots #iconiccanada #itsyourcanada #cangeotravel #cangeo #sunsethunter #sunsetgram #raw_water #raw_canada #raw_silhouette #canadaplaces #ilovecanada #streetsoftoronto #velvet6ix #sky_captures #portoftoronto #torontophotography
Happy Freighter Friday featuring an evening shot of the @mckeil_marine Florence Spirit unloading at @redpathsugar. From supplying the salt for our roads to the sugar in our coffee, the marine cargo handled at the Port of Toronto generated $463.5 million in economic activity in 2022. 📷 @flaneusetoronto #PortofToronto #FreighterFriday
The Port of Toronto delivers more than just cargo. According to a new study by Martin Associates, in 2022, 1,989 jobs in Ontario were supported by the cargo moving via the marine terminals located at the Port of Toronto. 673 of those jobs and $149.7 million in wages and salaries were directly generated by the Port of Toronto.

Happy Freighter Friday featuring the @mckeil_marine Harvest Spirit unloading at @redpathsugar . 🚢 From supplying salt for our roads, sugar for our food & beverage sector and essential supplies such as cement and steel, the goods delivered through the #PortofToronto are part of an important supply chain that supports Canada’s largest city. 📸: @flaneusetoronto
🏖️ Sugar Beach is one of our favourite spots on the #waterfront to watch cargo deliveries to the #PortofToronto. Even better if you can spot this rare #shipspotting sight at neighbouring @redpathsugar sugar – a self-discharging bulk cargo ship like the @CSLships MV Thunder Bay.

Do you know the difference between a “Saltie” and a “Laker”? “Salties” are ocean-going vessels designed to carry bulk cargo and can access the Great Lakes through the St. Lawrence Seaway. “Lakers” operate solely within the Great Lakes St. Lawrence River waterway and are designed to withstand the unique conditions of the Great Lakes. With the Seaway opening last week, we are excited to welcome our first “Saltie” to the Port of Toronto very soon! #MarineDelivers #HighwayH2O #PortofToronto

I had the opportunity this week to visit PortsToronto to present my friends there with a print of one of my photos that they had shared on their feed with a delicious pun. It depicts the passenger cruise ship Viking Octantis on its maiden voyage to Toronto, as seen through William Clay Donut, Jr. Everyone at PortsToronto have treated me so well and have been so generous with their time and knowledge that i just had to show my appreciation. I'm so happy they've placed it in their lunchroom where everyone can enjoy it. Seen here with starting with me going from left to right are Michael Riehl, Manager of Harbour Operations, Jen White, Harbour Operations Coordinator, and Helen Oel, Assistant Manager, Harbour Operations. I asked ChatGPT to provide us with a backgrounder on the Port of Toronto in under 200 words. "Did you know that the Port of Toronto has a rich history dating back to the early 1800s? Today, it's managed by PortsToronto, a government business enterprise responsible for the economic growth and sustainability of the port. The port is home to a diverse range of cargo types, including steel, sugar, cement, and more. On average, over 300 vessels visit the port each year, including cruise ships, making it a vital hub for trade and tourism in the region. But the port isn't just for business – it's also a great destination for tourists! Located in the heart of Toronto's Harbourfront neighbourhood, the port offers stunning views of Lake Ontario and the Toronto skyline. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the boardwalk, take a boat tour, or grab a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants and cafes in the area. Whether you're a business owner, a local resident, or a tourist, the Port of Toronto has something to offer everyone. Come see for yourself why it's one of the city's most beloved landmarks!" Couldn't have said it better myself. #portstoronto #portoftoronto #visittoronto #history #culture #lakeontario #greatlakes #chatgpt #hwyh2o #toronto #torontoontario #ontariotravel #ontario #i❤️toronto #myhometown #the6ix #mtyou

Happy Freighter Friday featuring MV Jamno unloading at the Port of Toronto. #DYK The most efficient and cost effective way to move bulk commodities over large distances is by water? In fact, one tonne of freight can travel 240 kilometres on a single litre of fuel by ship, whereas it can travel only 30 kilometres by truck. 📷 @flaneusetoronto #ShipduJour #PortofToronto
