ACV Sipu Muin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Based in Trois-Rivières Ouest, the Sipu Muin performs much the same tasks as the ACV Waban-Aki. The vessel's main activity is icebreaking in the Saint Lawrence River. The Sipu Muin has also been ordered to carry out navigation aids maintenance and search and rescue missions, and to respond to marine emergencies. Its speed and buoy-laying and ice-breaking capabilities are greater than those of the Waban-Aki.
