The NM Trans-St-Laurent is a ferry built in 1963 by the Davie Shipbuilding Company in Lauzon, Quebec, Canada[1][2]. It was launched to meet the growing demand for the Rivière-du-Loup–Saint-Siméon ferry route across the Saint Lawrence River. This ferry has been a critical transport link, connecting the Bas-Saint-Laurent region with Charlevoix.
History
[edit]The NM Trans-St-Laurent entered service in 1963 following its construction at the Davie Shipbuilding yard[1][2]. The ferry was designed to carry both passengers and vehicles, addressing the increasing transportation needs of the area. The vessel can transport approximately 100 vehicles and up to 380 passengers per voyage[2].
In 1964, the Ministry of Transport began the construction of a new dock east of the existing facilities at Rivière-du-Loup to accommodate the NM Trans-St-Laurent and improve ferry services[1][2].
Operations
[edit]The ferry operates on the Rivière-du-Loup–Saint-Siméon route, a 27-kilometer journey that typically takes around 65 minutes[3]. The ferry service is managed in partnership with the company Traverse Rivière-du-Loup-Saint-Siméon Ltée[4].
Ownership
[edit]The vessel is registered in Quebec, and as of the latest information, it is owned by Clarke Inc., headquartered in Beechville, Nova Scotia.[4]
