SPM Ferries is a company that operates ferries between the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon-Langlade in Saint Pierre and Miquelon, an overseas collectivity of France, and the port of Fortune, on the island of Newfoundland, Canada. [1] [2] The organising authority is the Territorial Council of Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
Ferry services operated by SPM Ferries [87] connect Saint Pierre with Miquelon town and Langlade, and both Saint Pierre and Miquelon towns with the port of Fortune in Newfoundland, Canada. In the summer, additional services operate between St Pierre and Langlade and between Miquelon and Fortune. [ 88 ]
SPM Ferries provides ferry connections with Fortune, Newfoundland, Canada; the port in Miquelon town; and a quay at La Colo on Langlade.

[11] [12] Transport around the island itself is either by private car, or by taxi, cars with drivers for hire, or car or bike rental.
