Commercial Traffic
Find information on all commercial shipping options below, including freight, overwide and overlong units, premium bookings, livestock, and more. All commercial drivers are required to provide Marine Atlantic with a copy of their manifest at check-in.
Marine Atlantic strives to move traffic in the most efficient manner possible. As part of that goal, we provide an open booking service to commercial customers on a sequential basis based on the booking number assigned to the unit upon arriving at a terminal. There may be times when loading will deviate from sequential booking number order for regulatory or operational reasons, such as maximizing utilization, meeting dangerous goods requirements, and physical limitations of infrastructure.
