Labrador Marine Inc. stated yesterday that it is confident all freight destined for North coast communities will be delivered by the end of the shipping season.
The company reported that with the guaranteed freight acceptance cut-off approaching November 8th, freight arrivals at the terminal in Goose Bay have slowed significantly.
Discussions with the major shippers of groceries and other goods have revealed that only a few container loads remain to be dropped off at the terminal.
LMI stated that after the current departure for north coast ports, there will be approximately three full vessel loads of freight at the Goose Bay terminal.
So far in 2019, LMI has handled about 10,712 tons of north coast freight compared to the 8000 tons handled by the previous service provider at this time last year, a 34 percent increase.
Labrador Marine Inc will provide further updates as the season progresses.
