However, I deliberately excluded the coastal Labrador service, for the reasons you (indirectly) point out: it's not a car ferry service comparable to the others.WJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08070910923518931583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11466749.post-5204235652445055912007-03-14T10:50:00.000-03:002007-03-14T10:50:00.000-03:00According to the new rates it would cost .90 cents...According to the new rates it would cost .90 cents a NM to ship a car from Rigolet to Postville. The passenger rate would be in the .16 cents a NM range bringing the total for car and one person to 1.06 a NM<BR/>Then of course you have the berth and meals on top of that. Then of course you would be on different vessels which would add to the cost or at least add to the inconvenience.<BR/><BR/>Strange the new rates do not include the main freight or passenger points to and from Nain. We pointed this out to some WST people last evening, “that is still being worked on and may take some months” was the reply.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17616269412884770034noreply@blogger.com
