Here is an interactive map of the regions served by the Port of Montreal. There are agents for their services based nearby where you live. You can contact them on their phone lines or through the E-Mail with your needs and requirements.

Montreal and Halifax has Container Ports, in the EAST, that operate on an year round basis and you will be best served by the shippers from those ports or their agents based near by you.

Besides the quotes that you have given here, there will be additional incidental charges for the clearing of the same at both the ends and it might run you into another 1000 or more for shipping. Also you should consider availing the balance of space within the same container to maximize and utilize the same for yourself, rather than let it go un-utilized.

Container shipping is slowly starting to pick up once again and you have the advantage currently to ask for a lower rates to ship to any part of this world. If this is an on going relationship and a steady one, you can get the lowest prevailing rates that they offer to their best clients. Alternately find one who is a regular shipper and see if you can get a break shipping rates through him.
