The Owen Sound Transportation Company (OSTC) operates as a maritime transportation provider in Ontario, offering passenger, vehicle, and cargo ferry services to northern and southwestern waterways. Based in Owen Sound, Ontario, the organization runs the seasonal MS Chi-Cheemaun service between Tobermory and Manitoulin Island and operates MV Niska I, a landing craft-style ferry linking Moosonee with Moose Factory Island on the Moose River. In addition to its own operations, OSTC manages vessels for the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, including the MV Pelee Islander and the MV Jiimaan, and supports a winter air connection between the Ontario mainland and Pelee Island when ferries are not running. The company also provides vessel management services for government purposes, contributing to sustained transportation access in its operating regions. OSTC functions as an operational enterprise agency of the Province of Ontario and serves a diverse customer base requiring reliable passenger, vehicle, and cargo movement across provincial waterways. The enterprise is active in a sector that encompasses regional marine transport and cross-water freight, with its activities centered in Ontario’s Great Lakes and James Bay areas. A recent development noted in local reporting involves awareness around fraudulent websites offering Chi-Cheemaun tickets, underscoring ongoing security considerations in its ticketing and booking ecosystem.
