As of October 2013, a brand new custom-designed container ship, the Oceanex Connaigra, is officially on the job, providing weekly inter-modal transport services between Montreal and St. John’s. The largest Canadian flag Con/Ro ship on the water, it has 13,700 sq. metres of available space and a deadweight capacity of 19,300 tons. Constructed by Flensburg Shipbuilders in Germany, the Connaigra already meets strict environmental regulations that won’t come into effect until 2015.
