The newbuild bulk carrier Nunavik arrived this morning at pier 27. This was her first stop in Canada.
\nShe was announced <\/a>at the same time as Oceanex announced the construction of the Connaigra.<\/p>\n

 The MV Nunavik<\/i>. Built at JMU’s<\/span> Tsu Shipyard in Japan<\/span>, the ship will be used to export
\n the concentrates produced at the Canadian Royalties owned Nunavik
\n Nickel mine at Deception Bay in northern Quebec<\/span>. The vessel will also
\n supply the mine with equipment and fuel, year round.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nRated Polar Class 4, the Nunavik<\/i> is the most powerful bulk-carrying icebreaker in the world. It is
\n similar in design to the Umiak I<\/i>, the Fednav ship servicing Vale’s Voisey’s Bay operation in Northern
\n Labrador<\/span>. The Nunavik<\/i> will sail unescorted in Arctic regions and will operate in the extreme
\n winter conditions of the Canadian Arctic. It is capable of maintaining
\n continuous progress of 3 knots in 1.5 m of ice.\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe vessel was designed by Fednav and JMU<\/span>, and will sail between
\n Deception Bay and Northern Europe<\/span> on a year-round basis. The engine
\n produces 29,600 hp, three times the power of a conventional bulk
\n carrier of the same size. The Nunavik<\/i> will be supported by Enfotec Technical Services, a Fednav subsidiary to
\n provide up to date information on ice conditions as well as technical
\n support to the inhouse IceNav navigation system. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe Nunavik<\/i> is equipped with the latest environmental technologies, such as a Tier
\n II engine that reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by 20%, and the first
\n ballast treatment system installed on a Canadian-owned vessel.\n<\/div>\n

\nIn naming this new ship Nunavik<\/i>, Fednav wanted to recognize the inhabitants and the region in which it
\n will operate as well as its project partner, Nunavik Nickel<\/p>\n

She arrived earlier then scheduled, so was already tieing up when I arrived. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\nUPDATE 03\/21:
\nShe sailed yesterday just after 16:00, the weather was quite rough.<\/p>\n
