    I saw on the TV series Swords that the boats deliver seafood in Bay Bulls Newfoundland. In addition heard that they truck it to Canada; but, how Newfoundland is an island. Are there ferry services that bring trucks to the island?? Do they ship it on planes????

    there are 3 ferries that run out of North Sydney Nova Scotia, it is a real pain now to get across I sat at the terminal for 36 hrs last summer. The cost is close to $600 for the shorter trip to Port o' Basque the longer is around $1300 not very common for trucks to take that one as it is cheaper to just drive across "the rock" about 12 hrs assuming the winds arent up in Wreck House (it earns its name as it has been known to lift a loaded truck up and toss it several hundred feet off the road) oh yea watch out for the moose

    Much of the back and forth to NFLD is out of the port of Montreal on intermodal containers. By Ship
