Company Overview

Algoma Central Corporation (OTCMKTS:AGMJF) is a Canadian marine transportation company specializing in the carriage of dry-bulk commodities across the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway. Its fleet comprises modern self-unloading bulk carriers and a network of tug-and-barge units, equipped to handle iron ore, grain, coal, cement and other industrial materials. The company’s vessel designs and cargo-handling systems are optimized for rapid loading and discharge, enabling efficient supply chain operations for steelmakers, agricultural producers and construction firms.

Founded in 1899 and headquartered in St. Catharines, Ontario, Algoma Central has evolved from a regional lake carrier into a diversified maritime services provider.

Its self-unloading vessels give Algoma a competitive edge by accessing ports with limited infrastructure and minimizing reliance on shore-based equipment.

Beyond its core dry-bulk shipping activities, Algoma Central operates a network of ship repair and maintenance facilities under Algoma Ship Repair, offering dry-dock, steel fabrication and mechanical services to commercial vessels. The company also manages affiliate barge and tanker operations, providing integrated logistics solutions for liquid bulk products. Backed by an experienced management team and a board of directors, Algoma Central leverages its regional expertise and modern fleet to support maritime trade throughout the Great Lakes region and associated waterways.
