Labrador Marine Inc. operator of the marine service to Labrador’s north coast and Black Tickle, has announced further details of plans for the 2022 marine season.
The first trip is scheduled for June 12 with a 2pm departure of the Kamutik W from Goose Bay to ports north to Nain. Several changes will be implemented for the 2022 season.
The Goose Bay freight office will begin accepting freight on May 30, to maximize delivery of food and essential materials on the first trip of the season.
During the 2022 season, they will accept freight from Monday to Wednesday, 8am to 5pm, Thursdays from 8am to 7pm, Fridays from 8am to 5pm, and closed on Saturday and Sundays.
The Kamutik W will make bi-weekly trips to Black Tickle this summer, resulting in an eighth trip. LMI has accommodated this change without any reduction in service to the north coast.
LMI has avoided increasing cafeteria and vending machine prices for the past three seasons. However, the increase in prices from all suppliers leaves LMI no choice but to increase prices onboard.
They will not increase prices on nutritionally important foods such as fresh fruit, salads, yogurt, cheese, and other similar foods.
