VOCM News
Tenders have been called for ferry operations in Labrador. The provincial
government has issued four tenders to provide operation of the Northern Ranger,
the Sir Robert Bond and a freight vessel for the North Coast, as well as for
shore-based operations involving ticketing and reservation services. Each
contract will be for a five-year period, with the exception of the Sir Robert
Bond which is for three-years. Minister of Transportation and Works Tom
Hedderson says the goal is to have all contracts in place before next season to
ensure a seamless service.
