Trans-St-Laurent

Trans-St-Laurent is a ferry built in 1963 by the Davie Shipbuilding Company at Lauzon, Quebec, Canada.

[1][2] It was launched to meet the growing demand in Quebec for the Rivière-du-Loup–Saint-Siméon ferry route across the Saint Lawrence River.

[1][2] The ferry was designed to carry both passengers and vehicles, addressing the increasing transportation needs of the area.

[2] In 1964, the Quebec Ministry of Transport began the construction of a new dock east of the existing facilities at Rivière-du-Loup to accommodate the Trans-St-Laurent and improve ferry services.

[4] The vessel is registered in Quebec, and as of the latest information, it is owned by Clarke Inc., headquartered in Beechville, Nova Scotia.
