Public Advisory: Closure Date for Labrador Shipping Season Released

The Department of Transportation and Works has announced the closure date for the 2009 Labrador shipping season.

Freight destined for Happy Valley-Goose Bay will be accepted in Lewisporte, Cartwright and all coastal communities until 4:30 p.m., November 13. This also applies to freight originating at Happy Valley-Goose Bay, headed for coastal Labrador ports and Lewisporte, and freight destined for coastal Labrador ports via Cartwright and Lewisporte.

Freight will not be accepted for delivery to terminal ports after this date.

On Friday October 16, the M.V. Sir Robert Bond will begin operating in freight mode, with the frequency of trips and departure times determined by the amount of freight to be shipped. This ensures all freight received on, or before, November 13, is delivered.
