The Société des traversiers du Québec (STQ) has released figures showing successful operations for the Bella Desgagnés ferry during the recent summer season. The service runs between Anticosti Island and the Lower North Shore, facilitating travel for both residents and tourists. From May 11 to September 14, the ferry completed a total of 18 voyages, during which it transported 8,111 passengers.
This surge in passenger numbers reflects a combination of factors, including increased tourism and the importance of maritime transportation for local communities. The STQ has noted that the results signify a positive trend for the service and underscore its vital role in connecting remote regions of Quebec to larger urban areas.
The Bella Desgagnés plays an essential role in supporting the economy of these regions, providing access to essential services and opportunities for business. As the summer season wraps up, local stakeholders are optimistic about the future of the ferry service, as it continues to enhance connectivity and bolster tourism efforts in the area.
