Vessel Description

Gaia Desgagnés is a Canadian-flagged oil and chemical tanker operated by Groupe Desgagnés, one of Canada's leading marine transportation companies headquartered in Quebec City. Built in 2016 at the Société Navale Caennaise shipyard in Caen, France, the vessel was purpose-built to serve the petroleum product supply needs of remote and coastal communities along the St. Lawrence River and Gulf of St. Lawrence corridor. Operating under the Pétrolière Impériale banner, the vessel is well-suited for navigation in challenging Canadian waterway conditions, including ice-affected waters. As part of the Desgagnés tanker fleet, Gaia Desgagnés plays an essential role in the reliable delivery of fuel and petroleum products to communities that depend on marine transport as a primary supply chain link.
