The Honourable John Hickey, Minister of Transportation and Works and Minister Responsible for Labrador Affairs, announced today that due to improved ice conditions, ferry vessels Northern Ranger and Astron will depart Monday, July 16, for all northern Labrador communities.

The Northern Ranger will head north from Happy Valley-Goose Bay, while the Astron leaves from Lewisporte.

As a result, effective immediately, the Department of Transportation and Works is accepting freight bound for all northern Labrador communities.
