In April of 1997, the Federal and Provincial governments announced an agreement that transferred responsibility for Coastal Labrador Marine Service to the Province. As part of this agreement, the Province assumed responsibility for the passenger ferry service between St. Barbe, Newfoundland and Labrador and Blanc Sablon, Quebec. At the time this service was contracted to a private contractor. This service is seasonal and runs from 1 May, or as soon as ice conditions permit, to 3 January, or as long as ice conditions permit. The Department has the option to request service to commence as early as 15 April but to cease no later than 20 January.
