MV Arctic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The MV Arctic is an icebreaker built in 1978 at the Port Weller Dry Docks located in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.
Designed to carry both oil and ore, the vessel is not only ice strengthened with a Baltic 1A Super ice rating but has a CASPPR Class 3 or CAC 4 rating. This means it is powerful enough to navigate through many ice-covered waters unescorted. The MV Arctic previously serviced mines in the high Canadian Arctic such as Polaris and Nanisivik. Once those mines closed she was shifted to service the Raglan mine in northern Quebec and the Voiseys Bay mine in Labrador.
