Just 45 kilometres and a 90-minute crossing separate the Canadian ferry port of Fortune, Newfoundland, from the French overseas collectivity of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon — yet the short hop crosses a genuine customs border. Operator SPM Ferries runs year-round sailings to Saint-Pierre and seasonal service (May to September) to Miquelon, departing Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Following a wharf upgrade, the new 55-metre ferries can carry up to 15 cars and three transport trucks per crossing, giving Fortune a real, if modest, role in RoRo freight movement. There is no container handling here; the port exists mainly for passenger, vehicle and accompanying cargo traffic. Because Saint-Pierre and Miquelon sits outside both Canada and the EU customs union, goods moving through this crossing face their own import and customs formalities. Businesses needing larger cargo volumes typically route through St. John's instead, which offers connections to international liner services.
