Public Port of Harrington Harbour

Harrington Harbour, QC · Transport Canada · Transport Canada · Gulf of St. Lawrence (Lower North Shore / Basse-Côte-Nord)

Harrington Harbour is a Transport Canada remote/public port facility serving an isolated island community in the municipality of Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, on the Lower North Shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence (about 1,200 km east of Quebec City). The federally owned public wharf is primarily used for commercial fishing (snow crab, lobster, turbot, halibut, cod) and the local fishing cooperative, and it also serves the neighbouring mainland village of Chevery. The wharf is a weekly cargo and passenger call for Relais Nordik's Bella Desgagnés (a Desgagnés Group vessel), which resupplies goods to the six remote Lower North Shore communities from April to mid-January, with transshipment of cargo handled at the port. As a remote port, marine transport is the community's primary mode of access.
