EVALUATE THE NECESSITY OF THE PERMANENT ACCESS LEVEL
If the Company with which you do business comes to the Terminals regularly, it must execute the sponsorship process.
You can refer to MGTP’s website at www.mtrtml.com under the Providers tab, Registration

The Company executes its sponsorship
After sending its sponsorship form, the Company with which you do business will be recognized for its access to the Port of Montreal.
The authorized signatory of this Company will register all its employees with a permanent port access card.
During access to MGTP terminals
Given that the Company has been admitted as permanent, it will not need to announce itself before accessing the terminals. Each new employee registered under the Company will benefit from the permanent access level with the Company.
The Company’s authorized signatory simply will have to ensure that it passes its employees through the port access card application process.
FAQ
How can I know if the Company with which I do business needs permanent access?
If the employees of the Company with which you do business visit almost daily, it can be considered that it must have permanent access.
How can I know the current status of the Companies doing business for me?
You can access the MGTP website under Providers/Sponsored Organizations.
If the Company with which I do business needs permanent access, what must I do as a department head?
You must refer the person responsible for the Company with which you do business to the sponsorship process. This process is available to the public on the MGTP website, under the Providers tab, Registration.
Must the employees who have passed through the process still register at the security office?
If the Company has executed its sponsorship and its employees have obtained their port cards, access will be added without the employees having to pass through the security office.
Why not simply give permanent access to all Companies that do business with MGTP?
MGTP, as a port terminal operator, must restrict access to its facilities as much as possible to contribute to the reduction of security risks. Referring a certain number of Companies to occasional access allows better control of the number of individuals who have access to our facilities.
What are the differences between Companies that have permanent, occasional or temporary access needs?
Permanent = Companies that have an almost daily business relationship with MGTP
Occasional = Companies that visit a few times per month or per year after service calls.
Temporary = Company or person who visits only once, or very rarely.
