About This Seaport
Five hours of open water separate Cap-aux-Meules from the nearest mainland road network, and that crossing is what defines the port: the harbour on Cap aux Meules Island (Grindstone Island) is the only commercial cargo point of Quebec's Îles de la Madeleine in the Gulf of St Lawrence. The Coopérative de transport maritime et aérien (CTMA) runs the year-round RoPax link to Souris, Prince Edward Island, with MV Madeleine II — about 15,600 GT, 139 m long, up to 750 passengers and more than 200 vehicles. Freight also arrives on CTMA's year-round cargo service from Montreal and Matane, operated by C.T.M.A. Voyageur 2. No dedicated container terminal is confirmed here; retail goods, building materials and breakbulk move mainly as trailers and palletised units across the RoRo ramps. There is no rail or road hinterland — trucking on the islands starts at the quay, and a small local ferry links Cap-aux-Meules with Île d'Entrée. International consignments are normally cleared by the CBSA at the Canadian port of first arrival, such as Montreal or Halifax. Realistic alternatives for regional cargo are Souris (PEI) and Matane, Quebec.
