Boarding your vehicle: from SAINT-PIERRE to FORTUNE

Some regulatory information

The exterior and interior of your vehicle must be free of all traces of soil and vegetation. In Saint-Pierre, upon boarding, SPM Ferries agents will visually inspect the condition of your vehicle and should the Canadian authorities refuse your vehicle if it shows visible signs of dirt and other vegetation. SPM Ferries cannot be held responsible for this decision of the Canadian authorities upon arrival in Canada. In Fortune, your vehicle will be inspected by the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) who will have the authority to refuse your vehicle on Canadian soil or order you to have it cleaned if soil or vegetation is present. These cleaning fees would be the responsibility of the passenger traveling with the vehicle. We thank you for being vigilant on the cleaning of your vehicle. To travel in Canada, do not forget to extend your insurance coverage to travel legally and safely.
  • Pre-boarding

    For a quicker process in Saint-Pierre, we ask all passengers traveling with their vehicle to present themselves at the ferry terminal to do their pre-boarding. This step starts 1h30 before departure: You must present your travel documents:
    • Your tickets (passengers and vehicles)
    • Your passport or other identity documents
    • If necessary, the authorization to leave the country for minors not accompanied by a parent
    • If necessary, your visa
    Please note that all passengers travelling in the vehicle must be present. At the end of this control, you will be given an authorization to pass through the terminal. Without this ticket, SPM Ferries agents on the pier will ask you to go to the ferry terminal before parking on the pier.
  • Boarding

    Once you have pre-boarded, you must present yourself at the entrance to the SPM Ferries dock where an agent will be waiting to validate all your tickets (vehicle and passengers). There will be no documentary and sanitary checks, as these have already been carried out at the ferry terminal. As soon as the border police arrive, all passengers will have to get out of their vehicles and present themselves at the exit control at the ferry terminal. An SPM Ferries agent will guide you through this step. You will need to show your ID, tickets and any other regulatory documents if necessary. Once this control is completed, you will be able to return to your vehicle and your boarding of the ship can begin.
  • Disembarkation

    In Fortune, vehicles and their passengers will be the first to disembark. It is important to follow the instructions of the crew. Border control will be done at the exit of the ship and in your vehicle by CBSA agents. You will have to follow the clearly defined ground markings to get to the checkpoint. Checking times can be lengthy and SPM Ferries cannot be held responsible for this delay.
