Port-Alfred, Administrative sector and port area in La Baie, Canada.

Port-Alfred stretches along the Saguenay River with multiple terminals handling dry bulk, liquid cargo, and specialized aluminum shipments through its marine facilities.

The establishment of a major pulp mill in 1918 marked the official founding of Port-Alfred, driving industrial development throughout the twentieth century.

The sector maintains strong maritime traditions through its working port, where cargo vessels and industrial activities shape the daily routines of local residents.

The port infrastructure includes navigation aids, pilotage services, and connections to rail networks, facilitating the transportation of goods across the region.

The port experiences substantial tidal variations between 3 to 6 meters, affecting vessel operations and requiring specialized docking procedures.
