LMI SETS GUARANTEED FREIGHT DELIVERY DATE SET FOR NOVEMBER 15
Increases in passengers, private vehicles, and freight on coastal marine service
(Happy Valley-Goose Bay) – The deadline for guaranteed delivery of freight to Northern Labrador and Black Tickle is Friday, November 15, Labrador Marine Inc. (LMI) announced today. All freight must be delivered to the dock at the Port of Goose Bay by 5 PM on Friday, November 15 to be assured of delivery to coastal ports by the end of the season.
“We will be accepting and shipping high volumes of freight between now and the end of the season,” says LMI General Manager Capt. Austin Daley. “A guaranteed freight delivery date ensures that we can manage everyone’s supplies to the coast before freeze-up. We’ve extended the guaranteed delivery date by 6 days this year to allow additional flexibility for coastal residents sending and receiving shipments.”
The reliability of the coastal marine service and the large capacity of the Kamutik W have accounted for increased traffic over 2023.
INCREASE IN TRAFFIC IN 2024
“We’ve had an increase of nearly 12 percent in passenger traffic to September 30 compared to this time a year ago, as well as increases in private vehicle traffic and tonnage transported,” says Daley. “The service offers a reliable connection to and from the coast.”
LMI is focused on providing quality service on the coastal marine route. In partnership with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, LMI introduced free passenger Wi-Fi in 2024, allowing continuous connection for the duration of the voyage.
