TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS Companies in Canada: Full List
Approximately 5,708 real businesses classified under Transportation and Storage in Canada, with officer, shareholder and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Approximately 5,708 real businesses operate in the Transportation and Storage sector across Canada. A shipping line rarely operates under one legal entity per country — it operates through a network of local agency and subsidiary structures, because freight is inherently cross-border and the paperwork follows the cargo. Road, rail, air, and sea transport, plus logistics, warehousing, and courier services, all carry this same structural feature: the entity issuing the invoice and the entity holding the assets are frequently two different companies in two different jurisdictions.
54 companies in this sector are indexed on Zavia so far, part of a continually growing dataset.
Beneficial-ownership and registration rules for Transportation and Storage companies in Canada follow the same national framework as every other sector there.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you
Transportation and storage is anchored by two major ports. The Port of Vancouver handled 170.4 million tonnes of cargo in 2025, an approximately 8% increase over the prior 2024 record, with grain, crude oil, and potash exports all hitting record levels and container volume reaching 1.88 million TEUs at mid-2025 across four container terminals. The Port of Montreal, Canada’s #2 port, handled approximately 34.3 million tonnes and 1.51 million TEUs in 2025 (roughly flat versus 2024 despite a 4.8% dip attributed to labour disruptions), with operating revenues of C$155.4 million and net income of C$24.2 million.
Rail connectivity runs via CN and CPKC (Canadian Pacific Kansas City) — CN and CP merged with Kansas City Southern to form CPKC, which content should use as the current correct name rather than “CP” alone; CN increased rail service to Montreal’s North Shore trade area by 10%. Counterparties verify a shipping, logistics, or rail-freight counterparty’s actual current port throughput and rail connectivity directly.
Who uses Canada transportation and storage ownership data
The three checks this sector's data is most often run for.
Vancouver-Port-Record Verification
The Port of Vancouver handled 170.4 million tonnes of cargo in 2025, an approximately 8% increase over the prior 2024 record, with grain, crude oil, and potash exports all hitting record levels and container volume reaching 1.88 million TEUs at mid-2025 (four container terminals). Counterparties verify a shipping or logistics counterparty’s actual current Vancouver port throughput directly.
Montreal-Port-Performance Verification
The Port of Montreal, Canada’s #2 port, handled approximately 34.3 million tonnes and 1.51 million TEUs in 2025 (roughly flat versus 2024 despite a 4.8% dip attributed to labour disruptions), with operating revenues of C$155.4 million and net income of C$24.2 million; rail connectivity runs via both CN and CPKC (Canadian Pacific Kansas City, the current correct post-merger name). Counterparties verify a logistics counterparty’s actual current Montreal port throughput and rail connectivity directly.
CPKC-Merger-Naming Verification
CN and CP (Canadian Pacific) merged with Kansas City Southern to form CPKC — content should use “CPKC” as the current correct name for this rail carrier rather than “CP” alone; counterparties verify a rail-freight counterparty’s actual current CN or CPKC service relationship directly.
