The ferry is owned and operated by the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. At the end of 2018, the ship was taken out of service and replaced by a newer vessel on the route between Nain and Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

The ferry was launched on June 11, 1986 and completed in October later that year.[2] Northern Ranger entered service in 1986 with Marine Atlantic.[5] Northern Ranger is named after her predecessor, SS Northern Ranger, launched in Scotland in 1936 and operated by the Newfoundland Railway and later Canadian National Railways for thirty years.[6] In 1997, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador took over all intraprovincial ferry service from the federal crown corporation in exchange for a one-time payment for highway construction and capital costs toward improving the ferry service. Northern Ranger was transferred from federal ownership under Transport Canada to that of the Department of Transportation and Works.{{citation needed|date=December 2018}} The vessel is now operated by Nunatsiavut Marine Inc.

On weekends, the vessel travels from Happy Valley-Goose Bay to Rigolet, Cartwright, Black Tickle and return.[4] As of January 1, 2019, Northern Ranger was taken out of service and decommissioned.[8] The vessel was replaced by a new ferry, MV Kamutik W, that will begin sailing in early June 2019.[9] Notes1. ^{{csr|register=E|id=8512504|shipname=Northern Ranger|accessdate=December 26, 2018}} 2. ^1 {{csr|register=MSI|id=8512504|shipname=Northern Ranger|accessdate=December 26, 2018}} 3. ^Equasis has the gross tonnage as 2,556, while the Miramar Ship Index has the tonnage at 2,565.
