What happened
The carrier’s Aug. 14, 2026 schedule shows the Claude A. Desgagnés sailed from Sainte-Catherine on Aug. 12 and is scheduled for Iqaluit from Aug. 17 to 20. Its later schedule lists the Annette A. Desgagnés in Iqaluit from Oct. 17 to 23 and the Johane A. Desgagnés from Nov. 1 to 3. Source↗
Why it matters
The dates give Iqaluit residents, businesses and organizations a current indication of near-term sealift activity and of the remaining planned service later in the season. The listed Sept. 22 terminal cut-off is the practical deadline shown for cargo intended for the two late-season Iqaluit voyages. Source↗
What happens next
Desgagnés says the schedule is updated daily and may change because of weather and ice conditions. Shippers and receivers should check the carrier’s current schedule before relying on an arrival, departure or cargo deadline. Source↗
Important details
The Aug. 17 Iqaluit call is on the vessel’s second voyage and is already marked as having sailed from Sainte-Catherine.
