Public Advisory:
Labrador Marine Service Update
The Department of Transportation and
Works advises that ice conditions are delaying the start of the Labrador
shipping season.
The MV Sir Robert Bond had been scheduled
to begin service between Lewisporte, Cartwright and Happy Valley-Goose
Bay tomorrow (Friday, June 18). The start date for this service has been
rescheduled to June 25, pending ice conditions.
Also due to ice conditions, services
provided by the M/V Northern Ranger and the MV Astron will be delayed.
Transportation and Works officials will continue to monitor the ice
conditions and service will commence along the Labrador coast as soon as
conditions permit.
Further updates will be provided as
details become available.
