About This Seaport
Baie des Escoumins matters to cargo shipping less as a port than as a pilot station: on Quebec's north shore of the St. Lawrence estuary, it is where the St. Lawrence Pilotage Authority puts a licensed pilot aboard nearly every vessel heading upriver. Compulsory pilotage applies from Les Escoumins all the way to Montreal, yet the village handles no commercial freight of its own and is better known for whale-watching. Ships instead load and discharge at regional commercial ports such as Baie-Comeau, Port-Saguenay, Québec and Montréal.
