Broken crane puts Labrador cargo ship out of service
A broken crane is keeping a cargo ship from delivering crucial freight to coastal communities in Labrador, whose residents have been complaining about scarce food supplies at their local stores
Nunatsiavut Marine said Monday that the MV Astron had to be taken out of service, but was later on its way to Lewisporte for repairs to the crane.
The company said it was able to unload 90 per cent of the freight from the vessel before the crane broke, and that regular service should resume on July 12.
