Conditions

Firearms transportation between Saint-Pierre, Miquelon and Langlade
SPM Ferries informs its passengers that firearms and ammunitions transportation is regulated.
Firearms have to be transported so that they are not immediately useable. They must be placed within
a
soft or rigid holster. In each and every case, firearms have to be unloaded and
declared
during the purchase of the ticket. In addition, weapons belonging to walk-on
passengers
travelling aboard the ferries must be given to the operation service before entering the
ferry
terminal. Regarding the trips of the Jeune France, firearms and ammunitions
have to be
given to the crew. Firearms must never enter the ferry terminal.
Moreover, we advise you ammunitions are dangerous products. Just like any
firearms,
they have to be declared to the operation service who will take care of
them.
Ammunitions transported inside vehicles will not be moved.
For everyone’s safety, SPM Ferries reserves the rights to verify the holsters at any time. We thank you for
your
understanding.
You can pick up the declaration at our various selling point or download it online by clicking here.

Exiting the territory
The requirement for a minor not accompanied by a person holding parental authority to have an exit
authorization
permit (AST/autorisation de sortie du territoire) was reintroduced on January 15, 2017. This new
measure applies to
all minors whose ordinary place of residence is France. It also applies to all trips, taken
individually and in a
group (school trip, vacation camps, language program stays, etc.) involving a minor
leaving French territory without
being accompanied by a person holding parental authority.
