File No. W9125/P1/98-2
Puddister Shipping Limited has applied to the Minister of National Revenue for an extension of its licence to use the "Northern Cruiser", under a charter agreement with the Government of Newfoundland, to operate a service transporting general cargo, containers and trailers, from Lewisporte, Newfoundland, to coastal ports of Labrador, as far as Nain. The matter was referred to the Canadian Transportation Agency on November 27, 1998.
The Canadian Transportation Agency conducted a search of the relevant portion of the marine industry and has determined pursuant to subsection 8(1) of the Coasting Trade Act that there is no suitable Canadian ship available to provide the service or perform the activities described in the application.
This determination will be provided to the Minister of National Revenue for any necessary action as provided for in the Coasting Trade Act.
This Decision does not constitute an authority to commence operations in respect of the service for which application has been made.
