Did you know about it ?
  • The Québec-Lévis ferry is part of the Route Verte and links two magnificent bike paths: the Corridor du Littoral on the north Shore (Québec) and the Parcours des Anses on the south shore (Lévis).
  • The Québec terminal was modernized in the summer of 2007. It is all set to welcome the great number of visitors to Québec’s 400th anniversary.
  • On the St. Lawrence River, priority is given to ships that follow the channel direction. This explains why the Québec-Lévis ferries have to wait when cruising ships or cargos sail up or down the River.
  • In the bassin Louise, Québec, the Société has a naval repair shop that gives the STQ certain autonomy in doing minor works, such as the repair and maintenance of its ferries.
