Fednav

Fednav ships operate in Arctic waters year-round, servicing Northern mines of nickel, zinc, lead, copper, and iron ore, among other things.

Most of its vessels are classified with the Ice Class 1C* notation by DNV, allowing them to work in the Canadian Arctic with the assistance of icebreakers.

Three vessels in the Fednav fleet, the 2006-built Umiak I, 2014-built MV Nunavik and 2021-built Arvik I, are fitted with icebreaker bows and have enough ice-strengthening and installed power to operate independently in Arctic ice conditions.

Fednav's Arctic fleet is also equipped with an in-house developed shipboard navigation system designed for vessels operating in ice-covered waters worldwide.

The total DWT of the owned and long-term chartered fleet is over 4,100,000 mt, with an average age of about 8 years.
