Crane under repair at Sept-Îles
The mechanical breakdown affecting the 'Bella Desgagnés' operations was related to the crane, Relais Nordik confirmed after initial inspections, which was the second time a crane breakdown has affected the vessel since the start of the 2026-2027 season. The company clarified, however, that the latest breakdown was not the same as the one that affected the 'Bella Desgagnés' during its maiden voyage. Initial analyses suggested that, due to an unfortunate combination of circumstances, the breakdown may have involved a different component than the one that was repaired last week, requiring further technical investigation. As a result of this latest breakdown, which occurred at the Port-Menier wharf, the vessel has returned to Sept-Îles. Specialised teams and the necessary equipment have been mobilised and transported to Sept-Îles. The investigation, and any necessary interventions, began on April 16. On April 17 the ship left the port again enroute to Blanc-Sablon with an ETA as of April 18.
Ferry suffered mechanical breakdown
The 'Bella Desgagnés' suffered a mechanical breakdown on the evening of April 8, 2026, at the La Romaine wharf,, which caused disruptions to the first voyage of the season. Operations of the Lower North Shore ferry were resumed as normal on the morning of April 10. Successful repairs to the ship's crane in Blanc-Sablon have allowed for a full resumption of maritime activities along the usual route.
Crew member tested positive for COVID-19
One crew member of the 'Bella-Desgagnés' has tested positive for COVID-19 on Oct 1, 2020 after leaving the ship. The Relais Nordik company that provides maritime services to Anticosti and the Lower North Shore was notified in the morning. Public Health was carrying out an epidemiological investigation to isolate the people who have been in contact with the engine room worker. He likely had no contact with any passengers. Public Health was studying the additional measures to be taken for the safe transport of food and essential goods in the isolated communities as the ferry was sidelined for the time being.
