V6 Agronomy is converting the grain elevator at Johnstown to handle specialty fertilizer imports.
The site is on the St. Lawrence River Seaway about 100 kilometers south of Ottawa.
Much of the fertilizer will be loaded on trains to haul it to Western Canada. It will also serve Eastern Ontario by truck and some U.S. markets.
V6 is a Canadian developer of compound and specialty fertilizers. The company was founded in 2012 and has been operating an inland fertilizer terminal in Wilcox, Sask., since 2020.
The converted elevator will be called the Odyssey Terminal. It is owned by Edwardsburgh Cardinal Township..
The first phase of development features a 20,000-tonne fertilizer storage building that can accommodate a full Handysize bulk carrier vessel.
