Marine Atlantic Inc is a Canadian Federal Crown corporation that operates ferries across the Cabot Strait between the island of Newfoundland and mainland Canada, according to contracts in place with Transport Canada. The ferries operate year-round on the 100 nautical mile route between Port aux Basques, Newfoundland and North Sydney, Nova Scotia and during the summer on the 280 nautical mile route between Argentia, Newfoundland and North Sydney. In 1999, the company's vessels transported 432,000 passengers, 134,000 passenger vehicles and 76,000 commercial vehicles on the Port aux Basques run and 46,000 passengers, 16,000 passenger vehicles and 500 commercial vehicles on the Argentia run. This represents an 8% increase over 1998 for passenger vehicles on the Port aux Basques run, an 11% increase on the Argentia run and an 8% increase in commercial vehicles. This follows strong growth in both 1998 and 1997. Marine Atlantic experienced its third consecutive record-traffic year in 2000, surpassing the half million-passenger level for the first time between Newfoundland and mainland Canada. Marine Atlantic carried 508,970 passengers in 2000, an increase of 7% over the previous year. The company owns four ocean class vessels: The superferry MV Caribou was built at the Davie shipyard in Levis and entered service in 1986 on the Port aux Basques run. It is 179 m long, has a GRT of 27,212 tonnes, and can carry over 1000 passengers and 350 autos or an equivalent number of trucks. All vehicle space is high headroom. The vessel operates at over 20 knots, has fin stabilizers, bow and stern thrusters, roll-through loading and a ‘1a super’ ice class hull. The MV Joseph and Clara Smallwood is a sistership to the Caribou and entered service in 1990. It operates during the winter to Port aux Basques and during the summer to both Port aux Basques and Argentia. The MV Atlantic Freighter was built in Asia in 1978 and was acquired for the Port aux Basques run in 1988 mainly to carry trailers without drivers, containers and dangerous commodities. The vessel is not a passenger ferry. It is 151 m long, has a GRT of 5466 and can carry 75 trailers. The MV Leif Ericson began operation on the Port aux Basques run on June 2, 2001. It has a GRT of 18,523 tonnes and will carry 500 passengers and up to 300 autos or 75 trucks at 17 knots. As with the superferries, it has two high headroom decks and roll-through loading. It also has stabilizers, bow thrusters and an ice-class hull. A strength of the company is its well trained workforce. Peak season employment will be in the range of 1100 employees at shore locations and aboard the vessels. The person-year equivalent will be about 900. In 2000, customer revenues grew by more than 3 percent over the previous year, while an increase in spending was also reported. The company has no debt. As per the contract with Transport Canada, a Federal subsidy is granted to cover any shortfall. The company's vessel operations are certified according to the International Safety Management Code, which ensures highest level discipline relating to safety matters and pollution prevention. Management functions of the company are found in three locations. The head office, including the President and CEO, public relations, auditing, and corporate council are located in St. John's, Newfoundland. The finance, accounting, computer systems and risk management functions are located in Port aux Basques. The operations management, human resources, purchasing, marine technical, and safety functions are located in North Sydney. Terminal operations, maintenance, reservations, and stores are located in both North Sydney and Port aux Basques. The company and its predecessor companies have operated ferries across the Cabot Strait for over 100 years. Until recently, the company also operated ferries to and from Prince Edward Island, across the Bay of Fundy and into the US and to / from and along the Labrador coast. With a new focus and new resources, the company's staff looks forward to effectively meeting customer transportation needs to and from Newfoundland.
