GreenTech 2026 in Québec City offers several exciting site visit tours for conference attendees. These tours offer participants diversified views on the activities, initiatives, and operations taking place on the Port of Québec's territory.
Places are limited and some tours are for a small group of people, so act fast! It is important to choose only one of the activities as they all take place at the same time.
GreenTech delegates will have the opportunity to discover the Port of Québec, a founding member of Green Marine, during a guided bus tour of the facilities. This visit will offer a unique look at the Port’s and QSL’s operations and highlight the outstanding environmental initiatives implemented by certified participants of the program. Throughout the tour, guests will witness firsthand the ongoing efforts to reduce environmental impact and foster harmony between port activities, the community, and the river.

Participants will have the opportunity to discover Glencore's port facilities in Quebec City, where nickel products transit between Canada and Europe. Nickel concentrate from the Raglan mine is shipped to the Quebec City terminal, then sent by rail to the Sudbury smelter to be processed into matte. The matte is then returned to Quebec City to be loaded onto ships bound for the Nikkelverk refinery in Norway. Although no operations will be underway at the time of the visit, it will allow participants to explore the entire logistics journey of nickel concentrate and matte, from arrival by ship to rail transport, and vice versa. The Glencore team will present the infrastructure, enclosed conveyor systems, and innovative tools implemented to ensure safe and environmentally responsible operations.

Delegates will have the opportunity to go behind the scenes at the Maritime Simulation and Expertise Centre (CSEM), a state-of-the-art training facility dedicated to pilot development and port feasibility studies.

Participants will thus be able to observe firsthand how real-life situations at sea are realistically recreated to train maritime pilots.
