Northern Saskatchewan's Marine Operator

When the road ends, the water is the only way in. P&M Barging is the crew that gets your freight there — across Lake Athabasca to the mines, camps, and communities that depend on every delivery.

Family-owned and Indigenous-owned, based in Fond-du-Lac. We know these waters because we live on them.
