Does anyone down the south coast have any information as to why the mv Astron was “storm bound” in the St. Lewis area for 3 days?
I had heard some rumblings that when the Astron got moving it was going to go as far as Makkovik then back to Cartwright.
Here is the transcript from the automated 866 number for Labrador Coastal Marine, updated at 6:20 this morning.
Mv Astron; ETA 8AM Makkovik Sunday the 11th ports to Nain via Rigolet and Cartwright.
Does it take 26 hours to steam from St. Lewis to Makkovik?
Something fishy going on here, it is more than evident that the operators of marine shipping are totally out to lunch, and it is doubly obvious that the Astron has had it’s day, it is just not up to handling the volumes of freight that are being moved in to the North Coast, both in volumes it can hold and in the state of disrepair the ship is in.

I had heard some teeth gnashing from a Cartwright relative who was awaiting a shipment of shingles to complete their roof repairs for the winter. It was safe to say there was little or no attempt to explain the delay.
