Compagnie de gestion de Matane Inc. (COGEMA) is a subsidiary of Canadian National Railway (CN) operating a dedicated railcar ferry service in Quebec between Matane and Baie-Comeau; additionally it provides occasional railcar ferry service to isolated rail networks at the ports of Port Cartier, Sept-Îles and Havre-Saint-Pierre. It also operates industrial switching to rail customers in Baie-Comeau.
COGEMA began operations in 1975 and operates the company's only railcar ferry, the MV Georges Alexandre Lebel. COGEMA was sold by CN to Quebec Railway Corporation on 14 February 1999 when QRC also purchased the Matane and Mont Joli Subdivisions. In November 2008, CN re-purchased these assets from QRC.
