Groupe CTMA And Marine Atlantic

Eastern Canada has long been renowned for its commercial shipping, especially through the St. Lawrence Seaway, and even in the recent past for its famous shipping line CP Ships, later to become Canada Maritime (CanMar) before it was swallowed up by the German shipping line Hapag-Lloyd, but little is said about its eastern seaboard ferry operators, of which two are profiled in this article. They are both well-established companies, and operate lifeline ferry services to several points along the coast of eastern Canada.
