To maintain close contact with its clients, Transport Canada maintains satellite service centres in a number of port communities on the St Lawrence River and Gulf of St Lawrence. Baie Comeau is a port that handles significant volumes of grain, lumber, newsprint and aluminum ingots for shipment around the world.

While most services are available locally, ship registration only occurs at the Montreal and Quebec City centres. Qualification of ships' officers is available on request; examiners may travel within the region to examine candidates remote from main centres. Importantly, the Centre is qualified to dispense basic information on all Transport Canada activities.

The following services are available at Baie-Comeau:

- Certification of Canadian vessels
- Monitoring of loading and transshipment of high-risk cargoes
- Pollution prevention and monitoring
- Inspection of foreign ships under Harbour Control
- Monitoring of transport of dangerous goods
- Application of occupational safety and health measures and inspection of ship's tackle
