When winter locks in, we break through. ❄️🚢 Winter icebreaking operations are now underway across: • Atlantic Canada • The St. Lawrence Gulf and Estuary • The St. Lawrence River • The Great Lakes and interconnecting waterways. These operations help keep people, ships, and goods moving safely while reducing the risk of ice jams and flooding in northern and coastal communities. ⚠️ Ice safety reminder: Broken ice and ship tracks left by icebreakers or commercial vessels may not refreeze right away

This is what we’ve been waiting for! Learn more from Commanding Officers Lacombe and Wheaton who brought our new icebreaker to Canada and who were part of the journey to welcoming it into our fleet. See how thrilled they are to be the first ones to officially take command of this vessel. https://bit.ly/2EsMC4l | Canadian Coast Guard

We are proud to announce the names of the future powerful icebreakers of our fleet: The CCGS Arpatuuq and the CCGS Imnaryuaq 🚢 💥. Named in collaboration with Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, these Polar Icebreakers will enable us to routinely conduct year-round operations in Canada’s Arctic – and will be our largest ships!
