Ferry suffered bow thruster failure
The 'Ivan-Quinn', which operates daily crossings between Entry Island and Cap-aux-Meules in the Magdalen Islands, has suffered a bow thruster failure that could limit its operations or even render it inoperable on Feb 24, 2026. A watertight seal wass damaged. The Société des traversiers du Québec (STQ) was considering a replacement plan with another vessel or a helicopter. As soon as ice conditions permit, around mid-April, the vessel will head to the Forillon shipyard for repairs to the bow thruster in dry dock. The vessel will undergo its annual mandatory maintenance check as soon as it leaves dry dock at the Cap-aux-Meules wharf. The Société des traversiers du Québec (STQ) estimated that the repairs will take seven weeks. The ferry is used primarily for “transporting waste materials, refueling, and transporting medical personnel. The Coopérative de transport maritime et aérien (CTMA), a local company, offers four departures per day except Sunday, two from Entry Island and two from Cap-aux-Meules.
