The MV Legionnaire, one of two new vessels that will soon begin serving the people of Newfoundland and Labrador, was launched on Wednesday, July 15, 2015 at Damen Shipyards in Galati, Romania.
Minister of Transportation and Works David Brazil was on hand for the ceremony. This new ferry will service Bell Island and is expected to arrive in the province in 2016.
