Reminder to everyone on the Labrador Marine Inc. shipping season.

All commercial and residential freight must be received by 5PM on Friday, November 12 to be assured of delivery before the end of the shipping season.

The November shipping deadline applies to both the north and south coast service.

“We encourage early delivery of freight to the Goose Bay terminal”, says LMI General Manager Captain Austin Daley. “It is vitally important to the people in coastal communities that food supplies and other essential goods are delivered to each port before the service ends for the season.

Daley complemented travelers and costumers for helping ensure coastal communities remained safe in the face of the continuing Coronavirus pandemic.

“LMI worked with federal, provincial, and local governments, and with health authorities to put measures in place that protected local people and their communities. We want to thank the people who travelled with us for their cooperation and patience in helping make 2021 safe for everyone”

Inquiries about freight operations should be directed to Dave Leyden, Labrador Marine Inc. at dleyden@woodwards.nf.ca
