Société des traversiers du Québec
The Société des traversiers du Québec (STQ) is a ferry company which has operated some intra-provincial ferry services in Quebec since 1971. It is a crown corporation owned by the Government of Quebec.
STQ operates the following services:
- Saint-Ignace-de-Loyola to Sorel-Tracy, crossing the St. Lawrence River with two ships, the Catherine-Legardeur and the Lucien-L.
- Lévis to Quebec City, crossing the St. Lawrence River with two twin vessels, Alphonse-Desjardins and Lomer-Gouin.
- Tadoussac to Baie-Sainte-Catherine, crossing the Saguenay River with three ships, the Armand-Imbeau and the Jos-Deschênes all year long and the Félix-Antoine-Savard in the summer.
- Matane to Baie-Comeau and Godbout, crossing the St. Lawrence River with one ship, the Saaremaa I, which replaced the F.-A.-Gauthier, when that ferry was taken out of service due to engine issues. The MV F.-A.-Gauthier had replaced Camille-Marcoux in 2015. The F.-A.-Gauthier is the first ferry in North American service powered by liquified natural gas.
