It never ceases to amaze me of the constant complaints and criticism of the Marine Atlantic service coming from Newfoundland people, politicians, and organizations.
Now these complaints and criticisms may be legitimate, but at least Marne Atlantic is on the whole open and transparent with all the problems, delays, and mechanical problems.

Same can not be said for the PROVINCIALLY operated ferry service on the North Coast of Labrador.

The Northern Ranger is obviously limping along with some sort of problem. It has been delayed at least twice this summer mid run up the coast. It is delayed again today scheduled to get into Nain at 2 PM instead of the usual 12.30.

Word from the grapevine is that high winds in Postville prevented it docking for some time.

No big deal, but no one talks about the problem, you get no regular updates as to arrivals except the morning and afternoon updates.

Even if some one was to try getting some information from LCM or Transport you get a brick wall of silence, funny that.
