LMI’s Kamutik W enroute to Blanc Sablon

(Happy Valley-Goose Bay) -- The Kamutik W departed Lewisporte at noon today
enroute to Blanc Sablon to begin service to Corner Brook. The vessel will be escorted by
the CCGS icebreaker Edward Cornwallis to Cape Bauld. The CCGS Henry Larsen will
provide an escort the rest of the way to Blanc Sablon. Winds gusting to 45 knots an
hour prevented the Kamutik W from departing last night as originally planned.

The Kamutik W is carrying 11 commercial tractor trailers and in excess of 15 passenger
vehicles. The vessel’s progress can be followed through the website
www.marinetraffic.com.

Arrival time at Blanc Sablon and departure for Corner Brook will depend on ice
conditions. People planning to book travel on the Kamutik W should consult LMI’s
website at www.labradormarine.com . This is the only official source of information for
the vessel.
