The Government of Québec and the Société des traversiers have been working together towards a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 25% on local ferry routes (03/02/2012)
To further that purpose, they made a business agreement with Gaz Métro Transportation Solution. This company will supply the natural gas for the two new LNG powered ferries running the Tadoussac–Baie-Sainte-Catherine crossing and one new ferry that will operate the Matane–Baie-Comeau–Godbout service.
